I am still in the pre- testing phase, and havent got my insurance approval yet...super nervous and happy at the same time....anyone have problems with the insurance approvals?

I'm still stocking some things. Protein powder, sugar free ice pops, sugar free jello/pudding

small utensils, small microwavable containers, stocks.

We're getting close!!

Started my pre-op diet today! This is gonna be something else. I can only have my opti-fast shakes(5) a day, water , crystal light, and sugar free jello. i need to lose 18 pounds before my surgery, which is Nov 13. This is gonna be a challenge

OMG my surgeon doesn't require weight loss before but let me tell you the liquid diet works!!! I've been on since 10.27 I went from 313 to 305 this morning so I know you can do it!!!!!!! The shakes will fill you up too so don't worry!! Good luck and congratulations to us!!!
