Juliana,

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. My husband said the same thing to me. He is so supportive. I guess I just needed to hear it said. The Dr office did call me back and told me that everything was approved now and cleared for the insurance and she was passing my chart on to the nurse for scheduling. She said that the nurse should be calling me in 4 to 5 business days. That I would have to see the surgeon again for final details before the surgery, so I'm waiting. But also thank you for your prayers! I believe in prayer! My husband also reminded me that we had put this surgery in God's hands and he had it under control and in His time!

After I wrote this message, I also noticed your weight chart. I was so encouraged by that too. I have lost 12 pounds this month, but my last weight at the Dr.'s office I was 320 too and my goal is 150. I am so proud of your loss so far and I appreciate your support.

vsnowrn, I will be praying for you Thursday morning too! Let us know how you are doing!

missymoo78 I am so glad that you have a date! Do you have to do the two week liquid diet before surgery?

MeMommie,

Apparently not a 2 week. I have to go see the surgeon on the 28th and I'm thinking he may put me on one then. I hope not! But he may very well since I haven't been successful in losing the 10 lbs he wanted me to. I will let you know what he says.

      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.
