Nerves at first visit

Ok waiting in the waiting room today was nerve racking for me. My leg was shaking in the waiting room and that NEVER happens to me. I met with the Insurance Coordinator who thanked me for faxing my letter of med necessity and 6 months of weight loss with Dr ahead of this visit.

My next appt is 9/20 w/ Dr Ache (this is when I get my surgery dated.

and then 9/23 with dietician and Psych

One down, good going. Don't fret over the process. It's definitely annoying, but don't let it be anxiety provoking. You'll get there, one step at a time :)

I have never felt like that before or at least not since I was a teenager. So excited! My Consultation is 9/20/13 next Friday and I get my surgery date then. On 9/23/13 I meet with the dietician and do my psych eval. Back to back hopefully. So Surgery date TBA next week. It will be on a Thurs due to my insurance coverage better for me at one location.

Everthing will be fine. You have jump through the hoops, the surgery is next- one minute your awake next minute your banded. Everyone has a bit of nerves.

      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.
