Congrats on your decision to have weight loss surgery!
It can be a long but very worthwhile journey.
Welcome to the board.

Topic: Hello all! New and Frustrated
Hello! I'm new to the to the WLS world and wanted to say hello. Currently I am working on getting insurance approval (Humana), and I never would have anticipated how soon I would be fed up with the process! :-)
For example, today I had to see my PC provider to get a Letter of Support. Instead of presenting her concerns about my desire for surgery, I got a 15 minute lecture about how her kids only get Oreos once a month. She flat out stated she thinks I will fail at this, but in the end agreed to write the letter?!?!?!?!?! I have decided not to let her ruin my day, and I am just more determined to succeed now.
Sorry to rant right off the bat. I really am glad to be here and can't wait for this journey to really begin!

Topic: RE: Monday...are we accountable?
Hello Everyone... I didn't make it back on here last night, but here goes Yesterday was good. I had a protein shake after working out last night. I did my step and then body pump @ the Y. So, food, vitamins, fluid all good yesterday. Just was sooooo tired when I got home. I went to bed early so I wouldn't be tempted to eat something carby. The extra rest really made me feel better this morning. I probably shoud do that more often.
Sandi.. funny, no bikini for me, but maybe you? Vera-Ellen, can't wait to see you. I bet you are looking as Wonderful as you are feeling. Teach..protein shakes are something we shouldn't completely forget about. I am trying to work one back into the evening and stay away from the crunch-crispy-salty-sweet stuff. Leslie, 7 flights of stairs?..umm yes.. that would definitely count.
