My Dr submitted to the insurance on Feb 2nd and had the approval by Feb 3rd. Scheduled for March 19th. This all has gone so quickly! Nervous and excited. I was given a list of protein drinks and powders that they recommend and plan to try several to see what I like the best. Will be on them for 1 week pre op and 2 weeks postop. Love this forum to chat with others going through the same. Not comfortable talking about it to many people as they just don't understand what it is like, what a big decision it was to decide on the surgery.

Congrats!! Surgery was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm almost 7 weeks post op and have lost 41 lbs!! YAY! please let me know if you have any questions. I love these forums and I keep up with tons of blogs. It helps you understand the whole picture, not just what the dr tells you!

Congrats. That is super fast. Good idea to try out different protein drinks and find a few you can tolerate. None taste that great. Adding something to them can help. Many, many suggestions on these board. I like to add a little sf pudding to mine. If they are really bad, some fruit helps ie. blueberries or a banana, also sf davani or torani syrups are good no cal adds. It helps to have them on ice and very cold. Lots of good advice and support . Good luck and keep us posted on you progress. Yes it is a big decision to have surgery.

It is super fast! Very happy for you!
