I got the call this Morning on my way to work that I had been approved by insurance!!

Date: February 6

Super happy yet I think I'm still processing it all. Planning mode just switched on and now I have a million things on my mind.

Just thought I'd share since you guys are awesome at lifting spirits!!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on getting your date!

A couple of suggestions to prepare for your pre-op diet and post-op life...

* If you drink caffeine, start weening yourself off. (I had to be caffeine free before I started my two week pre-op diet). You don't want to go thru caffeine withdrawal while you're recovering.

* Practice taking smaller bites - I used appetizer forks and spoons.

* Practice eating slower - I downloaded an app called Eat Slower. You set the intervals you want and it chimes when it's time to take a bite.

* Practice chewing your food 20-30 times - this is how you're going to eat post-op.

* Practice mindful eating - turn off the TV, radio, don't read. Just eat your food slowly - you will be surprised at how you slow down and the feeling of full you feel.

* Start incorporating shakes into your day - experiment with different flavors and textures. This will help in post-op life. (Don't overbuy your shake mix - your tastes may change after surgery.)

* If you aren't exercising, start. This will help in your recovery.

This is an exciting time for you!!!! February 6th is right around the corner!

Congratulations! How long did it take for the approval

Which insurance do u have?

Which insurance do u have?

I have UMR

Ok so tomorrow I start my 2 week diet. It's not completely liquid as I get a bar a day but still won't be easy.

The thing is that for the past six months I had been talking about how the day before I would go all out on food and have a wonderful steak dinner.

Well I've been sick for the last three days and have had no appetite. Today I had oatmeal for fb and a lunchables for lunch.

I'm not craving ANYTHING. The only reason I feel I should eat is bc this is it for a while you know. Although with time I will be able to enjoy those foods again, it just feels like I need to gobble it all down.

But not tonight, tonight I'm having baby carrots and grilled chicken for dinner. And it's only because I need my Protein after the kick ass workout I did. If I did go out I would probably be forcing myself to eat.

Let's hope I feel the same the next three days as I heard they are the hardest lol

Ok blabbing over

P

Super happy for ya!!
