Have to wait another week !!!



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting since my final appt. Dec 18th to get a call from Dr's Office sayig the insurance company approved my surgery. Phone rings today & it's the Dr's Office calling. The insurance company didn't get like 8 pages of the fax do they had to refax it. Nurse said it'd be another week. I'm glad they called & told me but I am so bummed about it.

I was on my 2 week liquid diet (through the holidays I must add) when I was on my last day the Dr office called and said the ins denied me. After suffering missing Christmas dinner and Christmas parties I had to jump through red tape with the ins and do it all over again. Well I finally got the call yesterday I was approved and scheduled for next fri. Jan 18th. I understand about the frustration though but I guess we all have obstacles to overcome. Good luck to you.

      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.
