Hello everyone. I am in my final phase of the " waiting for insurance" 3 month wait period. I am super excited and wanted to goall out and lose a few extra lbs before my last appt with the surgeon the day before thanksgiving.

If any of you would like to join in, lets go!

In an effort to prepare myself for the pre op diet, i am doing a Protein, fruit and veggie diet for 17 days.

Starting Sunday, I will have 3 Protein shakes a day.

No more than 3 Snacks a day. Backup shakes, bars, veggies or fruits for needed fuel for exercising.

I will exercise 7 days of the week. Now i am not talking about killing my body in the gym everyday for twelve hourz. My goal is 1 hour a day. Walking, taking the kids in the wagon, wii fit. Etc. I will use this time to give my time to others. Cleaning a loved ones house. Cleaning my own attic. Take the time to focus on the goal.

Another goal is at least 6 hours of sleep per day. Sometimes i dont know when to stop moving..

We can post hour daily weekly progress here or start an email group. Doesnt matter.

I will say i have done this for a week. In an effort to support a then soon to be bander, i did the liquid diet with her from the date of her approval until the day of her surgery. What a week! But it made me all the happier and more comitted.

I would love to join you! My surgery was scheduled for 10/30, and insurance delayed so my date is now up in the air. This could be just the emotional boast I need while I wait.

Welcome welcome my dear! Jump on the wagon and lets go! Why is your insurance delayed?

I'm also doing my surgery the day before Thanksgiving and am very excited about it. I am starting my pre surgery diet Monday. I started getting in the habit of drinking a protin shake for Breakfast and eating healthier for i can get my body into the hood and healthy habits before actually starting the diet. Good luck and good luck with the surgery.

Thank you for the well wishes. Surgeon wont submit for approval until then but keep your fingers crossed for me that i do get approved!

I think this is a very wise thing to do.

I started 7 mths ago, the first 6mths of Dr supervised diet I lost slowly and after ins approved I cranked it up a notch. I had my LB 2 1/2 wks ago and by what I read, I'm having it a lot easier than most and I think its b/c I already had the hardest part (getting started) done.

Best wishes to all of you!

My local hospital is a satellite from a hospital in Boaton. Bluecross wants to check, double check, and triple check it certified(or something like that).
