Topic: RE: Sticking to Pre-op diet - yikes!

I am scheduled for surgery on 10/28/08 and I am finding it very hard to be full on the four protein shakes and two fiber bar  1200 calorie a day diet my doctor has put me on.  My doctor requested I do it for 2 weeks prior to surgery so I started on 10/06/08 I am still having a hard time and my husband was so upset that I was hungry and gently suggested I have some turkey and vegetables.  I did and now I feel so guilty.  I really had every intention on following this plan to the letter but it is so hard to keep up my regular schedule on next to nothing.

However, I did not go over my 1200 calorie a day allowance so does that mean I really did myself harm.  I have lost 10 pounds.  I kinda terrible.

Topic: WLS Self pasy options...any advice?
I am still in the process of making the final decisions regarding WLS. My insurance Co. has a very specific exclusion in my poilicy and will nto pay for it so I am out of pocket. Any advice as to lenders who may also offer a rider for post surgical complications? I can pay for the surgery, but would prefer to borrow if I could get some kind of rider. Any help would be apreciated.
