I got my approval from the insurance. I'm hoping my date will be in February too. I received my approval letter from my insurance company and it said Feb 15th on there, but my dr hasn't actually given me a date yet. I meet with him Jan24th.

Good luck to you all with ur upcoming surgeries. dde04

What shakes are u drinking??

My doc uses HMR shakes. Since I've done this rodeo before, I've tried about everything and seem to dislike his less than I dislike others so I'll continue to use his. I am adding powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup when I think I'll scream if I drink another sickeningly sweet shake and want something a little salty.

I don't think all insurance companies send them out to patients. But I'm not sure.

I will keep the injury stuff in mind. Thank you. What are the HHR shakes?

That's awesome!! Me too. Although I'm in South Africa so I will technically have my surgery done quite a few hours before yours. But never the less, we gonna have the same surgery date! So much excitement.

I have my 4 hour class the 22nd, and my 2 week liquid diet starts the 28th. I'm more nervous about those two weeks than the actual surgery. Anyone else start that day that will be a crabby beotch with me for 2 weeks?

I started about a week ago and do that till the 4th then Clear liquids for 2days. i'm doing whey tech right now. I have to use 2 scoops to get the right protien I am going back to designer whey though because it is 100% pure isolate(sp?) Whey. Nut says that's the best whey but I will still have to do 2 scoops to get in my protien. Are you on shakes yet?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
