Steve, I'm guessing I would have heard by now but the doc was in italy last week and never signed my paperwork b/4 he left. The office clerk said she will call me in a few days or as soon as she hears. Thanks for asking :) How are you feeling?

Danno, thats teriffic, I'm glad you found a great doctor. If you don't mind me asking, your insurance company approved you with 65 lbs to lose? reason I'm asking is because most insurances say you have to be 80+ lbs over weight with a few health reasons to be approved.

My BMI was 38, As long as your Primary Doctor says, its medically neccessary, it was approved! Weight now 265, probably down to 190 in time, With Diabetes and other Meds, Lipitor and more, It was accepted

Gee Danno, sorry you had all those other problems, but on a good note your gonna be healthy in no time :) :) :) Men always drop weight like its Water (well most of them do)... :D

Steve, good to see your out and about. Are you allowed coffee the next day? WOWEE I love coffee and that would be something hard for me to give up. How many weeks are you off ?

Ahhhh its a beautiful day in Jersey, the sky is just brilliant baby blue, my favorite color.

How is everyone today? I need more coffee and some oatmeal.. BBL

Danno, Is Great ! Had a Atkins shake for Breakfast, I guess I'll get use to these for 6 weeks or so, They do have 20 grams of Protein, 1 gm of Sugar, so It looks much better than Slim fast.

My Doctor said that when I reached the weight of 222, I should be able to come off all medicines, not sure, just a guess at that time.

      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.
