United healthcare makes it a breeze to get approved in my experience! Trust your surgeons office & you'll be here in no time! I had my first appointment in the middle of February and im getting sleeved tomorrow morning (:

@@leahhindi the first week is the hardest when cutting everything out, I went through a sugar withdraw haha but now I don't really crave any of it and if I do I just step on the scale and it curbs my desire

I am 5'4 and currently weigh 237, when I started this in February I was 284 and I have lost 47 pounds from dieting and 17 from liquid diet...I think my bmi is 43 or something...i also am only doing shakes and water nothing else at all

@@Inner Surfer Girl, yeah 5 Atkins high protein shakes a day lol premier has too much protien they sajd

@@leahhindi my surgeons office told me no premier protien at all during the preop diet. They also told me no pudding. Only Atkins, jello, and broth. And no sugar at all. So the pudding could possibly be it. But you could just be losing slowly. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

I don't think it's that serious to call the surgeons office. The pain goes away when I'm laying down or when I'm moving. Plus if I don't think about it I can't feel it. I think I'm a cry baby lol

@@leahhindi what all have you been drinking? I'm on day 11 and have lost about 15 pounds...

I'm on day 11, the hunger is real. I'm exhausted all the time, and I've never wanted pizza more in my life. But it'll be over before you know it. Lots of naps & swear words.

so today makes 11 days on the liquid diet & it's been one hell of a ride. 3 days ago I developed a pain in my stomach, I'd say it's off center but half way down my belly more on my left. It's like an aching feeling. It only happens when I am sitting and otherwise I don't feel it at all. Im a little worried but has anyone else has a pain like this? Im sure it's from not eating but man!

Changinghaley is mine (:

Mines may 9th! We were talking on my post! Do you want to add me on Facebook ? (:

@leahhinidi, wow! I wish I had your preop diet! Mine is broth, sugar free jello & Popsicles, and atkins shakes. I wish more were approved with mine because like ylu I'm having a hard time with the shakes! I hate broth and get nauseous after having jello/Popsicles. I've only met my protien requirement twice. ): thank god you found something that works for you! I am so excited for my first week post op! I can have a peanut butter smoothie with bananas in it & it's never sounded so great before lol

@@leahhindi hahaha that's great ! My 2 week liquid diet is AWFUL! I'm sooo tired and sleep every chance I get. But I luckily don't wake up lol, I have this god awful pain on my left side that hurts so much I want to scream. I'm irritable and even more emotional then normal. I'm so scared for this

Thanks guys! I know it'll be okay I just can't get over the after surgery. Then what happens those weeks your recovering.

Yes! If you want to add me on fbook go for it (: it's haley urbansky, as much support as we can get is key right now I guess =|

My surgery is Monday the 9th and everyday that gets closer, the more freaked out I am. I've been so excited about this since October of last year and it's all I've wanted. I was so confident and sure this was it. Now with less then a week until surgery I am completely freaked! I don't want to never enjoy food again. I'm scared of surgery, of the pain. I'm scared it's going to be miserable afterwards. I'm scared of making a mistake. I'm just scared shitless. I know I want to be healthy, I want to be a normal weight, I want to be in control of my weight and eating habits. But right now I am petrified. I'm telling myself i haven't tried dieting hard enough, I'm telling myself this isn't what I want. God I just needed to rant. I feel like I'm losing it. I am so scared.

My surgery is on May 9th too! I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet and am starving. Food makes my mouth water now. I've lost 10 pounds already. On day 2 I had a really bad headache and was feeling off. Today it's better but the crabbiness and tired are fully there. I wish you luck! If you want you can add me on fbook to talk! (:

I have a resmed machine and I only use distilled water! The settings are on auto! I haven't chosen a level for the humidity...but the person told me to not change the settings or it won't be compliant for surgery....all the information is transmitted to the doctors and I can check my sleep score online every day....

No chin strap. I tried and the one they gave me is waaaay to tight. Squeezed my head and gave me headaches

I have a nasal pillow and do have problems not breathing through my mouth! But my mouth is never dry in the morning. Just sore throat, coughing and runny nose.
