I personally HATE canned broth plain. I suggest either making your own or at least doctoring up the store bought broth in a crockpot with veggies and spices then straining it. Also alot of people freeze it in ice cube trays then put the cubes in a freezer bag so you can just take out a serving at a time.

You look great!

I am actually in Bedford county, u?

@YoBL Yours sounds very similar to mine and I am allowed the jello and popsicles. Couldn't hurt to ask. I would assume it would be the same as sugar free drink.

Congrats Jill, I'm 1 week after you, bypass also!

Glad you are doing so well! I hope u continue to have a smooth and fast recovery.

Good luck!!!!

I actually got my approval in 1 day and am scheduled for 8/28. Good luck!

Good luck guys, u got this!!!

My office usually schedules 4-6 wks out. I think they are all different. I agree that u should call and get a tentative date on their schedule now. Also, i know people who have said they explained situations to their insurance once everything was turned in and had the approval fast tracked. I don't know if thats common or they just got lucky. Good luck!

We’re twinsies Thats great! Im glad to have someone to compare notes with.

Good luck with your last 5 lbs. If only it was as easy to take off as it is to put on!

@AshMarie794 I definitely have to check it out! Thanks!

Im in PA but still quite a few hours away from you. Im in Bedford county.

@AshMarie794 Im sorry that happened, it would SUCK! I can understand why it would be hard to get prepared/excited this time. Just try and be positive. It has to happen this time because i need someone to compare notes, and complain to who will be at the same place in the journey i am! I would love to see your YouTube videos. I wish i was brave enough to do something like that, but im too self conscious. I hope you dont mind that i followed you.

@AshMarie794 I feel like im as prepared as Im going to be..lol Im sure closer to time nerves will kick in. I start my preop diet the 14th and have my scope done the 21st. Ive already bought everything (i think) Are u all ready?

Ok guys, pls dont kill me or kick me out..... I went to the list of dates to attempt to update mine and must have bumped something. I shifted everything down one space and now there is a blank line. I left and didnt change mine. I will wait until @Ylime gets back. Im sorry

8/28 here!

Congrats!!! Thank you

Omg!!!! I just submitted my paperwork yesterday and got approved already! My surgery date it 8-28!!!!

Good luck! Hope everything goes well for you!

@ALFxRNY Thanks! I cant wait either! Im gonna start calling the insurance on Thursday to light a fire under their behinds!

Paperwork is officially submitted for insurance approval. Fingers crossed and if anyone has any extra patience to get me through the waiting, send it my way!

Yep, it does have cane sugar as an ingredient. I was looking forward to it on the full liquid phase....the search continues! Lol

Its an app called time until but there are several to choose from. I think i searched event ticker or event countdown.
