Thanks everyone!! Well, I just got it scheduled for Tuesday, May 10th!! I can't believe I'm actually gonna be able to do this!! Woo Hoo! Oh and I found out that I'd only have to do a 1 week liquid diet instead of 2 weeks, which is a super bonus!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I got approved today too. I could have done it that last week of April, but I wanted to wait until my daughter finished her exams and was home for the summer. So I'm doing May 2.

We should follow each other as we go through the process. You will be a few days ahead of me, so I can probably learn a lot from you!

I am excited and scared! I have had 3 surgeries in my life and each time I get more and more scared. The last one 2 years ago, they had to give me some heavy duty stuff before they even took me into the OR. I just get SO nervous about the anesthesia. But I'm so excited about the new life I'm embarking on. I just wish I had done this years and years ago. :rolleyes:

      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.
