YAAAYYY!!!!

May 30, 2012

I've been approved.  I took it upon myself to call Aetna this morning rather than wait for the coordinator to call me.  And I was told that I've been approved- for 1 day.  Not sure what that's all about.   But we will see.  So does that mean if I need to stay more than one day, I have to pay for it out of pocket?

Are you kidding me?

May 16, 2012

Today, I was scheduled to have my final appointment with my surgeon, where I get my surgery date.  Well on Friday they called me to reschedule the appointment for Monday 5/21.  I was pissed because I feel like I've been waiting forever for this date.  So the waiting continues.  I hope to have a date soon.

Protein shakes???

Apr 18, 2012

So like I mentioned before I am not scheduled for my last appointment in order to get my surgery date.  Now I am finally trying to prepare my body for the change.  This morning I am trying my first protein drink ever.  Its the Naked  protein smoothie.  And the first couple of sips and I am trying not to gag.  I think the protein shake thing might be a problem for me.  I've never liked milky products (especially with that powdery/proteiny taste along with it.  . So now I've put it in the freezer to see if I stomach it more if its frozen.  To be totally honest the only shakes I've ever liked in life is Chick Fila's banana pudding  and strawberry shakes..... Please give me suggestions on liquid proteins that are not milky tasting that will get me through ......

I'm ready to begin this journey.

Jan 23, 2012

Today is the first day of my journey for WLS.  I have mixed emotions.  So staying on this site reading everyone's comments is all I do on my spare time.  It seems like I can't hear or learn enough.  SO please share.  I want to hear it all!!!  I know one huge thing I need to do is stop telling people.  Hearing their comments (mostly negative) is really irritating me.



So I'm packing my bags now.... off to start my Journey.  Am I alone?  Who else is on their way?
