Thanks guys!
My doctors cleared me to move to pureed/soft foods as tolerated, so it's getting a bit better. Had some white fish last night and some yogurt this morning and all is good in GI land, plus it really does help to have something in my mouth that's not a clear liquid!! Even with the yogurt, I'm not really chewing, but it's still way better than the liquids!
I'm running to the store today to pick up the last of the supplements I need, I got most of it pre-op but I forgot the iron/vit C that I needed, go figure I'd forget at least one thing!

My approval was pretty instant, but I have pretty awesome insurance. I think we got the approval back within the week when my team submitted it. It literally took like two or three days I think.

You're 3 days after me- Feb 5th! Fingers crossed that it'll be a great month for all of us!!

I've finally scheduled my surgery for 5 weeks from now so I've been doing some more detailed research on what to expect post-op and all I keep finding are "omg I'm dying/I've had 87 complications/kill me please' horror stories!!
THANK YOU!

Hello,
I hear what you're venting about and I see your point. You would know better than I, but do you think they are just trying to connect with you on losing weight? My best friend is 98 pounds soaking wet, she has seen me struggle with my weight for years. Many years ago, she went on a cruise and gained five pounds. Now that isn't a lot for me, you can't see it if I gain five pounds, however, someone 5'1' and 98 pounds, you can see it! She told me she couldn't wear any of her jeans ect ect. All of a sudden, she got real quiet. Then she said to me, " I'm so sorry Di, I only need to lose five pounds, you should of told me to shut up"!

Here is what I said to her," Janice, it doesn't matter if it's five pounds or 95 pounds, it's all the same struggle for all of us".

That is just how I look at it.
I hope your journey goes well, and you can vent to us anytime.

Di
