I should be in December. I am hoping for a date over the Christmas holidays since I am a teacher. I find out Saturday when I see my doctor! Good luck. The big day will be here before you know it!

My surgery is scheduled for December 6 so I will be in the same boat with some of you missing Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I will be starting my Preop diet on November 22. I am starting to get very excited and a little bit nervous.

weightnomore where are you located in Virginia? I am in Richmond.

Hi, I am in the western part of Northern Virginia. My brother and his family live in Richmond. Are you having your surgery at Bon Secours? I had my one on one nutrition consultation on Monday and she said the doctor did not mark down any pre-surgery weight loss goal for me. She thinks I will not have to do any pre-surgery diet. What a relief. I guess it is because my BMI is on the low end. I will be on liquids for two weeks after surgery and mushies for 6 weeks. I'm getting more and more excited.

I talked to the lady who I'm working with @ my surgeon's office...

she said my nutritionist report thingy should be in on Monday. And, then it all will be submitted to insurance.

and, gave me an appointment to meet with my doctor.

yay!

i'm starting to get nervous i won't get approved... or i wont get approved in time (December)

if I can't get it done in December I'll have to wait until April for Spring Break. :( the wait now is just killing me.. I can't imagine waiting longer.

Your surgery is the day before mine and I hope to be eating mushies by Christmas, since I am on liquids for two weeks. That means I start mushies on the 21st. Guess that means cottage cheese and Soup for Christmas dinner-yum, yum!

      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.
