I am so irritated right now. I called my insurance company today and they wouldn't tell me barely anything except that there was NO referal or authorization sent as of lately or in progress. I then also called my dr. office to find out what the hell is going on and no answer. I left a message and no one called me back. Why is this world full of the "run around". I asked the insurance lady what the requirements were for surgery and they told me that my doctor would tell me. But I thought it was different for every insurance company. ALSO Very pissed because the nurse I have been in contact with at my doctor's office had told me that she was sending in my referal and going to get things started like 2 weeks ago! ... So imagine my reaction when I hear the insurance rep telling me there are NO referals or authorizations on my record.  UHG.

Major headache. Please excuse all of the rambling and misspellings andawful grammer in the above rant.

I'm starting to get really discouraged and feeling that It's never going to happen. I feel like I going to be let down.

On a diferent note.
Today I did not have breakfast because I felt awful and have been battling a sinus infection for the past week. Then for lunch I had low cal mayo with tuna mixed on top of whole grain crackers. Also a sugar free pudding. For dinner I had a turkey sandwhich with low cal mayo also. I am having trouble kicking my pop habit and I think it's going to take time. I had Coke zero and diet pepsi today with lots of water. I probably haven't had many calories today. I would estimate coming in under 1000. So this marks my first real day on my pre op diet. I figure I should start and then when I ever finally get my surgery then I will already be used to it and be ready.

Anyway- not feeling so awesome today,  can't tell if it's from my sinus infection or from my dramatic cut in calorie intake. Probably both.

Can this week please start looking up. PLEASE!
So for whoever is listening thank you for listening to me rant and rave and jump from subject to subject. Have a good night.


this makes me smile:::

Ok so I saw pictures of me from halloween with my son and I absolutely cannot stand the sight of myself. So awful. I just feel like a huge monster blob thats ready to take over the world with my fat rolls. UHG

I went grocery shopping yesterday - I was trying to get my new diet food. I was so confused. It feels like there is so much gray area about the pre diet. I was focused on getting as much protein in my diet as I can. I bought regular vanilla yogurt because thats the only flavor I can stand. It was lite yogurt with 8gr protein per serving. I also bought crab meat and lobster meat to snack on or put over a salad or to put on crackers. There is lots of protein there. Also I have to try to kick my soda pop habit so i bought coke zero to start. Also bough water bottles with protein water packets. I also found some oatmeal that tasts awesome and it has flax seed and natural ingredients. Tuna and crackers also.

I have been sick the last few days though so I haven't done well. But also haven't been eating much.
I did get a phone call today from my insurance about some kind of weight management program. I asked if this was one of the pre requisates before my surgery and she said she had no idea. Im so confused. I'm going to have to call my dr. tomorrow. Anyways. Have a good night everyone.

Ok so this week starts my pre-op diet. I want to get ahead and be prepared so that things will go as smoothly as they can.
I know that my problem is that I am an emotional eater. I eat my feelings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack! HAHA.
I have come to realize that I am a very lonely person. I know that life could be worse but for me the things that have hapened to me are a big deal and hae somehow scarred me. These issues however I won't mention now.

My goal for pre op diet.
I'm going to pin point my weaknesses which are:
1. SODA POP - omg I can't live without it.
2. Junk food/Fast food/Convenience food
3. Candy

These are the issues that I have to work on. Lets see what I can do.

Ok someone help me. I have decided to get Lapband surgery. Right now i'm just sitting and waiting for the surgery scheduler to call me. As of right now I have NO support from my family. I have support from few of my friends. I know in my heart this will be a great thing for me but it brings me down that my family is not behind me.

Im throwing up my red flag world. What do I do?!
