I am so excited! They called me after submitting my papers on Thursday for my insurance and I have a date to see the surgeon on April 18. I am hoping that this means that day I will get my two week diet to then have my surgery. Is that the procedure? Or will it be more waiting? Either way I am truly excited cause its finally becoming a reality, I have been on this journey since September and hopefully May will be my last day being FAT!

Depends on your surgeon, his schedule, your insurance...many factors. I was self pay, so they pretty much said..."when do you want to schedule it for??" I traveled to Dallas, saw the surgeon and had surgery 3 days later. Every doc operates differently. If your BMI is lower, you probably won't have to do a 2 week diet. (mine was 55, so I did have to) Some only require 3 days or 1 week. You'll have to see what he says.

      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.
