I found out yesterday that I was approved and my doctor's office went ahead and scheduled my pre-op appt. for August 20th and surgery for August 27th! I am so excited!!! My doctor required me to lose 13 lbs prior to my surgery and I had lost that, but then gained a few lbs over the past month. I have been trying to lose it the past 2 weeks, but haven't been able to. I decided to go on the liquid diet and see it that helped...which it did! Today is my 3rd day and I have lost 3 lbs. I still have to lose 1 more pound before the 20th, but my goal is to lose 2-3 more lbs just in case my doctor's scales are slightly different than mine. I have also been trying out some new protein shakes and found several recipes that I like. I ordered the unflavored Unjury and got it in the mail today. I will try it tomorrow.

Congrats on your approval.

Congrats, I have begun ordering items in prep for my surgery and I am at the beginners stage, I ave order my blender, an unjury to see if I like it, I have tried different protein shakes but premier protein has been the best, hopefully next Wednessday I will have more news after I meet with the doctor.
