T-14

OK so I made it through day 1 of the liquid diet. I must admit i was a little perterbed to learn that others could have broth, jello, and other sugar free treats while on their liquid diet but my doctor says no to all of that. I took a bootcamp class last night at the gym and made it through OK, but I could tell my energy level wasn't the same. Tonight is hip hop so we'll see how we do.

9/29/2010!!!

OK today's a better day. I apologize for my temper tantrum yesterday but I was just frustrated. Anyhoo my mom and grannie are coming and wouldnt have it any other way. I begin my liquid diet on Tuesday so until then I'm just watching what I eat and trying to prepare myself. The official countdown has begun, 20 days and counting. :wink:

Cookbooks for after surgery

OK someone asked about books. I went to Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon and was amazed at how many books there are on weight loss. There are even an increased number of cookbooks for eating after weight loss surgery. the most popular seem to be: Eating Well After Surgery, Recipies for Life After Weight Loss Surgery, and the High Protein Cookbook. Just thought I'd share!:thumbup:   Oh there are others on learning about the various surgeries and how to deal with the emotions of it, but i figured the September bandstars are beyond that point.

T-15 Day 1 of Liquids

OK today is the start of the liquid diet. I don't know how i'm going to make it but i am determined to do so. I have a variety of raw veggies to chew on throughout the day and a variety of water shakers to help me get through it. I do have one question: did anyone exercise during their liquid fast? I am an advid exerciser and with the classes I take I don't know how in the world I will have the energy to do it with just these liquids and a few veggies...any suggestions?

Bcbs

OK I'm logging off for the day and I am going to force myself to have a good outlook. I just spoke with BCBS regarding a claim they didn't pay (turns out they don't cover nutritional services at a hospital or outpatient clinic) and while I had them on the phone i asked about the process. The customer service rep was really nice. She told me her friend had the procedure done in November and how great she's doing. She gave me encouragement, stating the plan doesn't require you to lose weight in the 3 mnths just to go through the program. She also said not to freak if by chance I get a rejction letter. Most often its becuae some piece of info is missing and once they receive it, the procedure is approved. So I guess I can sleep better at night. Enjoy the weekend!

The Process

Well here we are at the end of July and in about a months time I should hear if I will be approved for surgery by my insurance company. I have one last apppintment with my primary physician on 8/19 then all the paperwork will go to BCBSIL for approval. I pray that it goes through. I can't wait to go to the gym and have people stare becuase they admire my body instead of wondering what I'm doing there. I'm looking forward to my skinny jeans becoming my fat jeans, and most of all I'm looking foward to being off of high blood pressure meds. I tell you this 3 month waiting period is racking my nerves.
