Lol...I'm such a kidder!

I'm in the process of getting approved...had a setback because my psych eval said that I need to wait until my husband comes back from Iraq to have the surgery...so it'll be like 6 more months until I can do it..

Just thought I'd introduce myself though. I'm a mother of 2, full time college student at Kansas State University, and an Army wife (which means I'm on tricare).

So HELLO EVERYONE!:grouphug:

Welcome to the message boards! You sound like one busy person and I bet those 6 months will fly by. Tricare is awesome! I have nothing but good things to say about them through this whole process.

Good luck to you!

Welcome to the boards fellow Army Wife! I as well have Tricare and still have to do a sleep study before it gets submitted for approval. If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask. BTW, hubby is from KS. My step-son graduated from KU last year and my youngest step-son graduates from Washburn in Topeka. We are headed out in December. We can't wait! Best of luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
