You are our poster child - I will aspire to be just like you! LOL

thinking of you all and sending prayers!

I'm so glad you posted! Been wondering how it went! Congrats!

I noticed my buttons are back too but fast reply still isn't working boo!

I'm a week in to mine - the last few days I don't even feel hunger - I am able to have 4 protein drinks a day, all non starchy veggies and some sugar free things - pudding, jello, popscicles and also oatmeal or cream of wheat. I set my calories at 1000 protein at 125 and carbs at 115 on myfitnesspal and I haven't made my calories since Friday

The forum has changed for me today - things that used to be buttons that said what they were for now are pictures or have no words. Also, the quick reply option has quit working! Here's what I have found - the green circular arrow is reply and if you reply that way it works! Hope that helps - I didn't see anything in the forums about the changes and it took me a while to figure it out.

awesome! I will add you to the calendar!!

Congrats, we will share a date!! I will add you to our calendar - come find us in the 2011 - August 2011 forum!!

Can you take FMLA unpaid? That's what I am doing, I only have 4 days PTO available so I will be unpaid for 2 weeks before my short term disability kicks in. Don't wait, so many things can change with insurance!!

It's your day to shine - sending prayers!!!

Lisha - I updated you!

Congratulations!! I will add you to our August calendar - come visit the August 2011 forum!!

MissBliss I called my insurance not the Dr's office - and trust me two different departments at insurance do the work (I work for them). My Dr's office scheduler actually said "I love you BCBS employees, you are on top of it!!"

So have you guys had someone measure you? I need to have my daughter do it - I keep thinking wait til the night before but so afraid I will forget!!

the ticker has to go in your signature - your picture goes in avatar - I think there is a directions post in one of the forums...

Welcome!! Make sure to visit us in the August forum - you do have someone on the same day as you! I will add you to our calendar!! I am going to say NO to the herbal cleanse as my surgeon requires all Herbal products a month before surgery!

Looks like 6 of you on the calendar!

Congrats on your decision! Welcome!!

added welcome!

OMG me too! Although I have a week to go! I never thought of pureeing any of it though! I have just been cooking for my family alot. Lasagna is in the oven now - I can't wait to do a ricotta bake for me after surgery! So are you freezing stuff? I can't have soft for 7-10 days after then I am pretty limited, eggs, chopped chicken, tuna and fish. But wow does that all sound good right about now!!

daily and YES! I called the day after it was sent, they routed for review and I called the next day and got my approval!! If i had waited for the letter I would still be waiting - 2 + weeks later! My surgery is in a week!
