I'm 27, but I was 26 when I started all this! Holding on to my 20's for dear life. ;o) I wanted to start actually living my life before I hit the big 3-0! I have my sleep study on Saturday and then 2 more visits with the NUT and they should be able to submit to my insurance! I can't wait!

I'm encouraged to not lose any weight; because insurance may deny my claim; if u don't mind those who have to lose weight what insurance do you have?

I don't think that my insurance required that I lose any weight. My surgeon wanted me to lose 10 poounds, it helps to shrink the liver and it makes the surgery easier. I have UHC

I was told no drinking at all for 6 months, and when you can drink again, a glass of wine, or even one shot can make you prettttty drunk.

      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.
