Hello Everyone,

I've been on this site since I started my journey a couple of months ago.

Fortunately, insurance approval was pretty easy once they received all the info they need (Empire BCBS).

I have a choice of August 19th or 26th. I am thinking the 26th as I would have the surgery on a Wednesday and take the following week off work. Since it is the week prior to the Labor Day Holiday it will be a pretty slow time at work. I can work from home too.

I'm excited!! I have my pre-op appointment the week of August 3rd and will be starting the pre-op diet the week after. I'm not looking forward to that, but if everyone else here has been able to make it through, I will too!

Any suggestions about dealing with the pre-op and post op diets while working in an office? Did anyone bring in their blenders, etc.? Just wondering how that went. I am not telling "everyone" at work but a few people close to me know about it.

Thanks in advance for all your support!!!:confused:

August 17th here!

I have 2 of those "blender cups" that you can get at GNC. It has the little metal spiraled ball inside that keeps your shake smooth whenyou shake it.

Hi Summer Again,

Great you are just about a week before me! :confused:

Where are you?

I was thinking about bringing in a magic bullet, so I could use ice to mix.. we'll see. People will probably think I'm making margaritas or something. :ohmy:
