At least your diet gradually gets to full shakes and it's not such a HUGE change all at once. Did you hear from your surgery center if they submitted your paperwork for insurance approval yet? Love your backyard, it looks amazing!

Unfortunately, the girl in charge of my pre-surgery case has been sick the last couple of work days and has not been there. But all of the hoops has been jumped that I had to jump through up to this stage :). So, as soon as she returns to work, and can verify that my Upper GI was received, then, she can send my packet to the dept to get the surgery approval started! YEA! So, hopefully she will return to work tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!
