    I’ve been wearing old navy compression pants since before my weight loss and am finally realizing I need a smaller pair. I love them! You’d think my closet looked like Doug Funnie’s. I wanna get a nice pair of jeans but I don’t want all the loose skin just chilling in the pouch of the pants. So maybe like a pair of Spanx to flatten it a little.

    I had the binder since surgery but haven’t worn it since.

    I’ll have to definitely check out the waist trainer.

    Thanks everybody for your feedback.

    Kimtriesrny, do you have a brand you like for jeans?

    I'm on day two and it actually hasn't been as hard as I thought, and my doctor is extremely strict on what I'm allowed to have. Full liquid. 3 shakes a day sup lamented with broth, unsweetened juices/drinks. Two meals a week. I'm starting to freak out a bit though my OCD is kicking in and I'm already itching to pack for the hospital.

    Two meals a week? Like what?

    I'm just wondering, cause my surgeon might need to talk to your surgeon.
    I'm on day 5 of 2 week liquid diet and all I can think about is pizza. :(

    Fluffy Chix shares your date too so you all are surgery triplets.

    Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

    Oh that's so fantastic! Thanks for letting me know. I'm just getting caught up with the entire forum. I just saw the same date and geek'd. I got it today. I've had a lot of bumps and hiccups in my journey, so I'd really like to just move forward smoothly.

    I had different instructions.
    The liquid diet for me goes like this:
    1-9 days -- Clear Liquids (for the full two weeks up to 50 cal a day), one approved food 80-100 cal (i'm just picking pudding), whey Protein Shakes (they have a list of how many you'll need to drink throughout the day to get the required grams of Protein -- in this case 5 Premier Protein shakes)
    10-14 days -- same clear liquids, No approved foods, 2 premier protein and 3 impact protein shakes. you have to get that from the hospital store. There's stuff in it to help you heal after surgery.

    Then, my surgeon's nurse sent me an email of other things I need to do like labs, EKG, chest X-ray, see my Doctor to clear me for no infection in my lungs and heart, 3 hour long group class with the surgeon, 1 hour group class with weight management.

    I've been slacking on taking my Vitamins ahh don't judge. Anyone think this will be a problem? put off surgery?

    I didn't know you could call your insurance to find out the status. So I just called and they said I need to ask my provider/doctor. I'll call tomorrow. I'm in Kalamazoo and that's also where i'll be getting my surgery. I hope everyone hears back soon. I'm really looking forward to getting my surgery date. Y'all should post here when you get your dates, too!

    Thank you everyone for your feedback. I scored a 5 and they're making me do 14 consecutive days of using the cpap machine before I can send all my stuff to insurance. I have to use it for a minimum of 4 hours but, that's actually kinda hard. The first night I did it, but the next 4 days I kept waking up with it off my face. So I had to start all over for the 14 days. I'm hoping for no more road bumps and to finally get on with my insurance and surgery.

    Wishing everyone else good luck!

    I'm just wondering what was everyone's results were from their sleep apnea test.

    I had the worst experience for that department, but to make a long story short, the last requirement on my checklist was the sleep apnea. I did the at home test and when I brought it back, the employee told me I was a 5 and did not have sleep apnea. Then I had to make an appointment with the pulmonary doctor and she told me I do have sleep apnea. So now I need to wait 7-10 days for the machine, use it for 2 weeks, make the appointment with the doctor.. so is 5 negative or positive?

    I absolutely understand. Did you get your work situation figured out? Talk to your doctor? I hope you get to do whats best for you and heal swiftly! I'm rooting for you.
