Hi Guys. I'm kind of freaking out and making my family crazy so I figured I'd come vent to you...
I started this process in February and thought everything was going well... At the time I started insurance was requiring a three month diet before approval - but with changes to insurance they have changed it to six months. That will bring me to the end of August - best case scenario....
I teach pre-k in NYC and as I am sure you can imagine it is very active.
I am struggling now with whether to go ahead and do it with basically 0 recovery time - or put it off till next summer....
I am feeling quite desperate to be done and be able to move forward.

Those are all great, valid ideas Valentina but I am either far too lazy or far too busy to start trying to change things right now.
I also wonder if it's different on the other side. I am still pre op and the post ops have a separate meeting. So I will ride it out till I see what goes on there.
Or I will just go to the meetings for the other practice, where many of the things you spoke of are already in place.

Ugh!
I hate to sound cynical but I bet there were people asking painfully obvious questions about that recipe.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I have been to a bunch of them through my practice and they are very dry. Basically just a nurse spending an hour going through the pre and post op diet progression for an hour EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Frustrating because I was looking for real support.
A friend of mine, who had the surgery with a different practice, brought me to her support group and it was awesome. Real people talking about their experiences, good and bad, and celebrating!
Really celebrating....
I have no interest in switching practices but I might just defect for the support group....

What everyone else said
I was a ridiculously heavy coffee drinker and finding out that I had to give it up was initially devastating....
I literally have an 8 foot coffee bar in my house with a tassimo, a keurig, a rivo, a nespresso, and a cuisanart coffee system on it.
So if anyone can relate, here is how I tackled it....
Pretty much as soon as I had my first consultation I bought some half caff coffee and replaced all but my morning cup with half caff. I stayed on this until I ran out of full caff pods....
Then I bought a bunch of Decaf and replaced all the half caff except my morning cup with decaf until I ran out of half caff pods.
6 months later and I'm 100% decaf - though if I go to Starbucks or Dunkin (which is a rarity) I'll still have a regular cup
You know - I thought I would be devastated and I'm really just not
Thinking about selling off all but two of my pots....
