My paperwork was submitted to insurance on Monday.. It's Thursday and I am still waiting to hear back from them.. It feels like it's taking forever.. When I called today the lady told me that the paper work just came out of Clinicals, and was given to a nurse to look over and evaluate.. I am crossing my fingers and hoping she or he sees that I have done everything possible to insure I was approved, and gives the go ahead for surgery. The lady I talked to said I should hear something back by tomorrow if not then Monday for sure!! I can't believe the time is here. The surgery date we handed in was for the 10th if everything goes as planned I could have surgery NEXT WEEK!!! YaY!!!

Sorry all I loose track of what I post. When the lady told me they had just come out of clinicals and was being assigned to a nurse. It was her way of letting me know that all the paper work has been submitted and it has to go through the right people before being assigned a nurse. More less they want to make sure you have done everything they requir before taking it to the next step..

      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.
