Congrats to everybody! Mine's been moved up to 3/9 but the patient coordinator still hasn't submitted it to BCBS of MA for approval. Sure hope I don't end up with an insurance nightmare.:tongue_smilie:

Mine has actually gone pretty smooth except for all the tests and all. I didn't have a supervised diet or anything so it was pretty easy. So can't wait to go clothes shopping and be able to shop in the smaller peoples section!!!!!!!!! YIPPY.. Good luck to everyone else that has their surgeries coming up next month!!!! Please let me know how it goes.:tongue_smilie:

Congrats to all on your approval! Get ready for the wild ride. I was banded on 1/27 and haven't looked back.I'm down 21 pounds today! 2 huge things have happened - I've gone shopping in my own closet and found tons of 'new' clothes, and I dropped a shoe size so I went shoe shopping at home too!

I wish you all the best! Use this forum for everything. Its saved me and my sanity many days. Keep in touch and I'm happy to answer any questions!

      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.
