Yes ladies and gentleman, you read that right. THREE BUSINESS DAYS!! I have went through this entire process praying and hoping that i would not get a denial. My doctors office was so on top of everything. My surgery is scheduled for the 28th of this month. The doctors office submitted my entire package late Friday afternoon and by 9:00am this morning I received my approval. Liquid diet starts Monday!!

SIX YEARS?? Omgosh that is crazy. Why so long?

Tomorrow I start my one week of liquids and I have to say this is stressing me out more than the surgery itself! I work two jobs plus have a family. I can't imagine how I might feel and the thought of liquids only while still having to work and do all my normal things is freaking me out!

I'm in Scotland, UK - and the waiting lists are crazy - they kept saying that they had other priorities, and other areas had to be done first - they only had slots for X amount per financial year.. I have to say though, that despite the wait - it has been worth it. You won't regret your decision!

Well, I got my first day of liquids done and I didn't feel bad at all. Tomorrow should be interesting. I'm sure I will be ravenous by then. If I'm lucky the rest of the days will hopefully be this easy.

Some days seem so easy and others are pretty rough. I cannot find a pattern of why when analyzing what i have eaten. I do have a shake in the evening so i do not wake up hungry. That does seem to help start the day correctly. I am also trying to not let myself get too hungry for fear of not staying true to the plan. Good luck and hang in there. We can do anything needed to get to the surgery!

2nd day of liquids done. It was easy today until dinner time while my family ate pizza. But I got through and I will have one more Protein shake a little later. I have to admit, this has been WAY easier than I thought it would be. This is only the 2nd day, but I have to figure it will be fine from here on out. :-)
