Hello Everyone! First let me say Congratulations to those that have a date! And those who are working on it, don't give up! My insurance was a complete no from the get go. So I am self pay. My hubby and I have been saving for 4 months. We are gonna make a good dent in the Care Credit loan. Having said that, my date is October 8! My birthday is October 9! What a wonderful birthday present! I am so excited. However, beware of the Last Supper Syndrome. I have been on and off with that since June when we started saving and I knew I was getting surgery. Thank the Lord above for what I am about to tell you. I have been a wreck this week because my preop diet starts a week from today, and I would be so ashamed if I gained since June when I had my initial consultation. We went last night and bought some whey Protein to start over on Monday and a scale. THANK THE LORD I AM STILL 235. I was so sick, I swore I gained over 10 lbs. This is my last weekend. And I want sushi for sure and one other luxury food before reality is here. I AM SO READY AND EXCITED FOR THE NEW ME!!! I HAVE BEEN HEAVY MY WHOLE LIFE! I SEE THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM! WOOOOHOOOOO!

      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?

      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.
