I have been lurking on the site for about a year cheering on everyone's successes and being inspired by people's triumph over the more challenging aspects of their journeys. I was in a dead sleep this morning sleeping off the effects of 3 back to back 12 hour shifts, when I got the call from my insurance coordinator @ 10:45am. When I saw the phone number, I was scared to answer because I was afraid of being denied but i put on my big girl panties and answered the phone. She said I am happy to tell you that you were approved by your insurance company. After I got off the phone I literally jumped out of bed and did the stanky leg and started dancing and crying at the same time. Happy New Year to me! Just waiting for the surgery coordinator to call me to schedule pre-op and surgery date.

      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.
