She told me she was just gathering everything and was going to fax it over. First thing this morning BANG!!!! a call your approved and your scheduled for Feb 11th @ 1:30.Liquid diet starts on the 4th.:smile2:

So all of a sudden I'm scared and excited at the same time.

I know I will be fine but god I've been working on this through 2 different insurance companies.

I have two small children and I am a bit nervous about the general anesthesia because they need their mommy, but I think everything will be okay. We only have two weeks to go;yay!!!!!!..... I know I can't think about anything else..... Hopefully we can share our journey throughout this post. I wish you all the luck.

I also got approved today and will be finding out my date tomorrow! I know i was soooo excited to get the message but my nerves started to kick in as well! I have two sets of twins at home ( two 3yr olds and two 2 yr olds) so i am also kind of wondering how coming home after surgery will be! i think my biggest worry is not drinking when eating,i know i can do it but this whole process will be completely life changing and that is a very good thing!:unsure:

Congratulations!:biggrin: I also know the feeling, as I got word this week that I got approved and my surgery date is 2/25/10. I will attend my first support meeting on 2/8/10 and have to do a two week liquid diet starting 2/11/10. Anthem BC/BS is my provider and I'm in New Mexico. Like yourself I'm both excited and scared, but know that its all good:thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
