A HUGE step closer to Me!!!!



Recommended Posts

If I could, I would be dancing in the streets of my neighborhood! (it's pouring rain with thunder and lightning) screaming "yea for me yea for me"!! I just learned that my insurance co. UHC, approved me after less than a week of having my paperwork. My surgeon's office did everything!

I have a date of November 10th...exactly one month after my 42 birthday. What more could I ever ask for???

I am so excited, thrilled, scared and blessed....all at the same time.

Here I am, on the road back to the me I use to be...just older and wiser!

Hey, that's so great!!!! I am so happy for you!!! What a great birthday gift!!! You truly are blessed, that was quick. You will be so very happy with your band, I just know it, I haven't heard anyone who wasn't. Enjoy this next month preparing for your surgery. Start thinking healthy eating and go ahead and splurge one last time, everyone, or just about everyone, does!! And be guilt free about it.

Good luck and best wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

      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.
