Recommended Posts

Yep, few on May 1st & few on May 10th too, that is great!

Start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow. Making me a bit nervous, only because this is making it so real!

But excited too!

Hi everyone!

So, I started this thread back in February and today I found out that my insurance approved my surgery. Good news!

But, I don't have a date yet. I totally know what some of you mean when you say that you feel that your life is on hold. I've been waiting for 2-3 weeks (thinking that the doc's office had already submitted my paperwork, but it must have gotten held up somewhere...maybe due to Easter?).

Hoping to still get a date in May...I imagine that I'll find out next week? Hoping to join all of you May Sleevers!!

:)

      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.
