I pre registered for my surgery yesterday!!!! Well my journey started 6 months ago when I had my first visit with my Dr. I have Highmark BCBS of PA, insurance. I had to have 6 months of nutrition visits and a psych eval. My BMI was 37, so I did also have to have comorbities which I do.. I'm pre-diabetic and take metoformin, and also used victoza. I also have tarsal collation in my right foot which due to the extra weight causes my foot to swell, and is extremely painful. My last nutrition visit was April 15th, and my paper work was submitted the same day. I got the call May 21st, that I had been approved. I started my pre-op diet on April 26th, weighing in at 220. I'm drinking a protein shake for breakfast and lunch, for dinner I am having lean cuisines that my Dr gave me a list of which ones were okay. Today is the 3rd day on my pre-op diet and I'm weighing in at 116!!! Im not sure if it's all really sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will soon enough. Any other May 10th sleevers? I'd love to have a surgery buddy [emoji16][emoji3]

@@tallow2102 I'm May 10th !! I'm on the dreadful 2 week liquid diet , as of Sunday.. I'm hanging in, lost 7lbs .. All the best to you !

You go!!! That's awesome!!!

Hi. I'll be your May 10th buddy. Our journeys seem to have started around the same time. I started my preop diet on 4/26 at 210 and am down to 202. I must admit, I'm concerned bcs I've not been able to get my 64 oz of Water on top of the shakes and Protein bars. I'm not generally a snacker so it's been difficult. I'm surprised however that I have not been hungry or anxious about food at all during this preop diet phase. I've had to get creative to dodge some bullets at some social functions this week but it wasn't too tough. I do find myself lying a lot as to why I can't eat. Lol (I already ate, I'm full, I can't drink bcs I'm on antibiotics, etc). I even held strong against my son's birthday cake. Mother's Day will be a big test. So as I'm trying to stay focused, I wish the same for you. Let's stay in touch.
