I'm all alone on July 19 :(

My surgery will be on 7/19 with Dr. Lopez in puerto vallarta. I do have a low bmi of 31-32, and only 60 lbs to lose.

I am gearing up for my July 19th Sleeve and found out this week that my insurance company wants more information. Since I already had to change from July 6th to the 19th, this is so discouraging. They said I put that I drank soda on something. The fact is I could care less about soda. I only have it occasionally. I wrote the person back and told her I would never drink soda again. I haven't since I told them last week. Are they just trying to deny me or something? I checked with them before starting all of this and they said I would not have to do the 6 month pre surgery diet and now they are asking about it. I cannot wait another 6 months. By then I won't be able to use my flex spend money I put aside for this. Freaking out!

      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.
