I was happy to weigh in 6 pounds less than i did 3 weeks ago. Anyway they are faxinh pre op authorization request to my dr. My goal is to have surgery approved by the end of July.

July 24th if everything goes well with my EGD on the 16th. Day 2 of pre-op diet. Finally was able to blend a Protein Drink I could finish tonight. Not a fan of the Protein Shake situation. Lol

Ok, so things are moving right along....I have my consultation on July 11th and my xray and EKG on July 12th. My pysh on July 15th and I am having my upper GI xray tomorrow the 19th. I plan to visit my PCP on July 23 to make sure everything is received and ready to be faxed over to the surgeon's office! I hope to hear from the surgeon's office by July 31st thus meeting my goal to be approved for surgery by the end of the month. I suspect that my surgery will be in August which would be great. I am just trying to stay focus on preparing myself for surgery and beyond. Thanks for all the support and responses....you guys rock!

I am so excited today because I am at the salon for the first time in 8 years. I am finally paying attention to me for once! I am looking forward to working hard at my new transformation. I am taking care of me inside and out. Who knew there could be a balance to taking care of my family while taking care of my own needs. Anyway...I would encourage all of you to do sonething nice for yourself. Treat yourself!

Ok so today I was told that my surgery would either be August 27th or September 3rd. August 27th if there's cancellation which I hope there is because that is my preferred date. I am starting to get a little scared though. I have so many questions too.

      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.
