Well I had my 2nd appt with Cardiologist and NUT yesterday...they will be faxing reqd info to surgeon today...and then it is COMPLETE! I will call Dr. G's office on Thurs and then they will start to file with the insurance to get my butt approved FINALLY!!!  Still hoping for end of Oct but my gut feeling is more like early Nov.

The NUT I talked with works closely with Dr. G and is calling her today to discuss about my all liquid program...she feels that it may be better if I go to a modified program that the hospital offers(3 shakes one good meal) till surgery...that way I can learn how to learn how to eat properly again(making good choices and chew chew chew/cut into small pieces) to prepare myself post surgery. She also feels that Dr. G will be beyond pleased with my progress so far after 3 months of all liquid.

Just wanted to say thanks for the support I have been given here during my all liquid phase...all of you ROCK!!

Congratulations Rob!  That is amazing.  You have a lot of willpower sticking to the liquid diet for so long.  I hope your date comes up quickly!

I know you are on liquids, but have you really only drank all of your meals.  You cant eat ANYTHING!!!!!  Really.  OMG, you have done amazing.  I thought you were awesome before, but you are more awesome than I thought.  I thought you were doing the 2 meals of shakes and 1 good meal.  Holy Cow!!!!  I could not have done it.  I went NUTS after liquids and pureed foods after my surgery.  I did what I had to of course, but 3 months-no way!!!!!

I am very proud of you, we all are... You are going to be the next great success story!

Rob ~ What great news!   After 3 months of all liquids, do you even remember how to chew real food?  Will think good thoughts that all goes quick and smooth with your approval process.  ~ Sandy
