Met with the doctor Wednesday and my surgery is scheduled for the 14th. Wow..I keep pinching myself to make sure I am not dreaming. I can not believe it really going to happen. I must say that I really do not like the protien shakes for the pre-op and post-op diets but I will drink them and I will succeed at this. I am very determined to be healthy and look good when I get there.

That is wonderful news!!!! I am new to the site...I started this journey in June 2010. Today the doctor finally submitted all of my paperwork so now I wait for an approval from the insurance company. The lord only knows what they are going to say. I was hoping to be a March bandster but now it is more likely going to be April. The doctors office told me the insurance company has 15 days to make a decision....My guess is they take every last bit of it too. I waited this long so a few more weeks will not hurt :)

GRATZ to everyone who received their approvals and are now on their way.

      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.
