Wow Morkie, congrats not only on getting approval but on sticking to it and finally getting your approval. Its so fantastic that they didnt wear you down and get you to change your mind...Insurance can be such a pain!

I find myself doing the same thing. I know I'm doing it, and I know I shouldn't, but do it anyway. I'd really like to go into my next appointment (for the pre-op diet info on the 25th) not weighing more than I did at the band class they made us take. It's not going to happen at this rate!

:biggrin:

Hi all! I saw my doctor today and surgery is scheduled for Oct 6th 9:30AM. I don't have insurance approval yet but the doctor said not to worry...approval is almost guaranteed!

I am so ready to join the "October bandsters"!!! :biggrin:

I tried one that wasn't bad I believe the name is Worldwide Protein (I keep it at school so I would have to double check it) the flavor is Caramel chocolate Peanut. It says to mix it with Water but I use skim milk. I also have the French vanilla but haven't tried it yet, the cals, carbs, and fat aren't bad (way under what my nutritionist gave me) and it has 18 grams of Protein in a serving. I got it at Vitamin World and the container wasn't too big so you haven't committed to a huge tub of it. I'll try the French vanilla tomorrow. It cracks my students up when I rev up the blender and they know it's time for my breakfast!!! :thumbdown:

Slim-in-Tn!

I have decided to start a fatty liver diet next week. I too feel the same way - but I guess we better get used to it! LOL! Although - I know we will feel much more full once the band is on. I actually ended up buying the Isopure Protein powder. The flavor is chocolate and to be honest - it was really delicious! I was very happy with it!

Hey Linda! I have some great recipes that I have been experimenting with. The recipes are at home and I can get them to you when I get home... Stay tuned! Come to think of it... I will post a who subject about the recipes if you would all like.

Good luck to all the October bandsters. I am hopefull for an October date. I met with my surgeon, dietition and financial agent yesterday. I have one last appointment with my MD tomorrow and appointment with the psychitrist on Friday morning. Then the waiting to hear back from the insurance begins. I hope I will have my surgery in late October. Keep your fingers crossed:thumbup:
