Hi Toni!
I'm so glad to hear someone else is going through this with me! I haven't started just yet. It was hurry up and wait. I was interested in the program, but they asked that I go to an orientation "seminar" first, then I had to schedule a doctor's appointment. Of course I can't get in to see the doctor until the 25th of this month. That's when I get a comprehensive physical and probably EKG. I hope they don't make me get more bloodwork because I just had some drawn for my primary care doctor. If I need more bloodwork, then I'll have to wait more...
I am however, very anxious. I will be giving up food as I know it for 4 months. I think giving up partying during the summer BBQ season will be hard! I feel like I need to savor everything I eat these last days! Did you do that too?
Bravo for doing so good on your diet. It's people like you that keep me motivated. And you can't have any solid food at all! That's got to be hard. I can have some solid foods like cereal, protein bars and some pre-packaged meals.
That's a bummer that your insurance doesn't cover it. Mine will cover 1/2 of the cost of the classes and all of the program fees and doctor/nurse visits (minus my co-pays). I'll also have co-pays on the labwork and pay out of pocket for all the food items. I think it's worth it too. I hope I do well on it and will try to remember to post my progress!
Thanks for your support and friendship! We can do this!

I know exactly what you are going through, Chrissy. I went to my seminar on the 2nd and couldn't start until the 17th. When I got the green light on the 16th, I hung up the phone and yelled "Woo Hoo" so loud! The patience is worth it. I went to my favorite restaurant the night before. 
Enjoy the sweet anticipation!
I have submitted my paid bills to my ins. company and asked for compensation, minus the cost of my shakes. Fingers crossed!
Cheers!
