I stocked up on my Protein and vitamins!!

Now to get my hospital bag ready and do my spring cleaning at my house!!

Congratulations! I just received my approval as well and am expecting a call this AM from the scheduler--- hopefully we'll get this done in the next couple of weeks.

The approval process was so long. I just thought that the insurance company would find some way to not approve me, but I worried about it for nothing.

Good luck to you on your surgery!

Yeah!! Congrats to you all. Isn't it so exciting, yet scary? I'm excited to finally get my Sleeve, but scary because I am losing my friend( food) and not sure if we will ever be cool with each other again

This is probably jusy fear of the unknown.

But it has come to this, I have to get a new friend, I hoping exercise will be my new friend!

@betterthanbefore,

Thank You!!!!

I thought maybe I was alone in my love affair with food. food has always been there for me, but now it's feels like it's not my friend in a way, it's an frenemy. I keep thinking... What if I try to eat my all time favorite and it makes me terribly ill. How will that make me feel. But then I tell myself, maybe that's a good thing. Then I read stories on here about "head hunger" I hope I don't get that. I'm going to try to really get gung ho about exercise and hope I go way too overboard with that, like I did with my food!

      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.
