Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

Is everyone exercising with the shakes? I'm so exhausted....I haven't been. Probably why I've only lost 12 pounds....

I would like to exercise but, out begging dumb as broken big toe. The shakes I got not bad.

How many of you have to do a liquid diet before

Mine is not a full liquid diet, but shakes for

Breakfast and lunch and then protein and veggie (low fat, low carb) for dinner. I started Monday and I'm on it for two weeks. Liquids only the day before Surgery.

Mine is 4 glucose control boost during day and dinner is 4-5 ozs lean meat and 1-2 cups fresh or frozen non start veggie

I am sitting on pins and needles just staring at the phone at times wishing it would ring and I would have an answer from the insurance company! I am so ready to have a date! Did anyone call to see where the insurance company was in the process? Is it worth it? Will it move them along quicker?

I didn't call as often as I wanted to, and it turns out people didn't have the right paperwork. Who

Knows how long it would've taken if I hadn't called and brought it to their attention. My paperwork could've been submitted two weeks earlier than it was. Keep calling!!

At the hospital for prep-op testing today. This is getting real now.

I found that to be the case the first time I called. My program had changed in the new year and I had to back track to do a couple of extra things. I think I will find the number and call today. Thanks for the encouragement! I am so excited to go forward and start the new me!

Good Luck! You are on your way!!!!

Heading to my last weigh in today. Then everything gets submitted to insurance. Hoping for a quick answer, so surgery can get moved up! Been off from work with severe back and leg pain. Off all of Feb., went back for two weeks and off again. Pain management doctor has nothing else for me at this point, because nothing is working. I want to get this process moving ASAP. The sooner I lose the weight, the sooner I can get my back fixed. Then maybe i can actually LIVE my life! Fingers crossed!

My preop is tomorrow... so excited!
