Honestly, the pre-op diet was the hardest part of my entire experience. I drank about 4 Premier shakes a day. You can try SF pops and chicken/beef broth. Its like eating a liquid steak. Ok, no really its not, but that's what I kept telling myself to get through it. I was on this diet for a total of 4 weeks (2 weeks pre-op and 2 weeks post-op). I was about to rip someone's head off by the end! In that month I lost 30 pounds and in the end I survived. I'm a lot happier now. Just keep your eye on the prize. I was just terrified of any complications during or post-op that I stuck to the liquid diet without cheating. Hang in there. My blog has a bunch of entries about my frustrations with the liquid diet.

I travel frequently on business. My doctor said I would be fine to travel after about a month.

6 Month Supervised Diet?!
Jack Fabulous replied to lovealways's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm with Aetna and I had a 3 month supervised diet. I had so see my regular doctor AND a nutritionist once a month for three months. I actually ended up GAINING two pounds at the end of the three months and was terrified that I would not be approved. I was approved within a matter of a day. It is just a hurdle we need to jump but it is much nicer on the other side. -
My surgeon told me the self pay option was $15,000. So, not too far off from where you are.
