Hey I also see Dr. Balil. I'm not scheduled as of yet, because I have to go through the 6th month insurance stuff. I am hoping to have my surgery in August or September. It seems like it is so far away. Did you all have to do the 6th month thing? Did you lose pre-op? What kind of pre op diet does he put you on?

I did not have to do the 6 months because I am self pay. My process has been since December but it would have been quicker but I had to schedule appointments around college. My pre-op has been a week as of today and I have lost 6pounds. The pre-op could be as long as 14 days depending on you size, because the reason for the liquid pre-op is to shrink your liver. My surgery is Friday and honestly it feels like I have been waiting for ever and this week of liquids has been the longest week of my life.

      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.
