  1. I'm 2 days post op & all I can say is: take it one day at a time. I took my iPad to catch up on Netflix & I never looked at it or my iPhone to text. I had no energy for any of that. I just came home today. Walked around my local CVS a couple of times waiting for my meds, came home & have been napping. Good luck to you and best wishes. Keep me posted

  5. Sadly, my insurance decided YESTERDAY that they need 3 more months of nutrition classes. I'm very upset, sad... So dissapointed because I've done EVERYTHING. I've been doing my liquid diet & all. I gave myself Friday & Saturday to cry about it & although I'm still upset I'm staying to get over it. My surgery has been rescheduled for January 19,15. With that being said I want to wish ALL of you the best of luck tomorrow! Please keep me posted on your progress!
  6. My surgery has now been rescheduled to January 19, 2015. I'm very dissapointed and very sad.
  7. Hello everyone! Very frustrated.... WARNING... Curses coming... So yesterday my insurance co (UMR) called my surgeons office and told them that I needed 3 more nutritional visits (May, June, July) before I could have my surgery..WTF!? The info was faxed to the insurance with plenty of time & now, just before surgery she wants to pick up the damn file & review it. Can I please know WTF she was doing all this time? My doctors office faxed the letter to her & today she says she needs 3 detailed letters with a bunch of other details ????. I'm waiting for my doc to come in and approve this so they can fax the letters over to the insurance lady & see how fast she can review my documents & approve my surgery. What pisses me off is whyyyy did she wait till the freakin last minute??? Ughhh... I'll keep u all updated!

I then separated the broth from the chicken & veggies & saved it to purée for after surgery. I also made a turkey chili w kale, carrots, peppers, black Beans & tomatoes. Idk about the beans in the beginning. It's been fart city today' ???? Tomorrow I am making a butternut squash, tofu soup. Good luck on Tuesday & keep me posted on ur recovery!
