Yippee! I hope it goes well. I can't wait for that call! Where are they? I don't want to start nudging the woman who makes the appointments quite yet as I don't want to appear to be a PITA from the get-go -- but I wish they'd call. Need to see psych and nutritionist then the surgeon. LET'S GO!

I'm approved by my surgeon!!! She said by the end of this week she will have my insurance approval letter written to my insurance company. That usually takes 2 weeks or so, but I do I have to attend a diet class and a dietician program (required for all of her patients regardless of what any insurance requirements are) on sept 10th/11th. Once those are done I'll get a date! She said at this point any time in October looks promising!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!

      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.
