I'm also hoping for an October date. My final nut appointment is 9/4 - in a perfect world it would be end of September but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for October. Anyone been turned down after doing the 6 month insurance wait game? That's my biggest fear.

I have a little over a month before surgery approval. I am hoping for a date in Oct. it has been a long 5 months wait but I have taken that time to learn about the surgery and life after surgery from these posts!

I was told by my surgeons assistant that I have a tentative date of October 2. It sounds so far away by its actually less than 2 months away. I would like to be able to hope it was sooner but I need this time to develop healthy habits and to shrink my liver. Less than 2 months. Eeeeep!

I turn 21 in Oct and that's when my insurance can give me info about surgeons and all that good stuff. So October is a big month for me too :) Im 3 months into my 6 months of supervised weightloss and I'm going to schedule a psych eval soon :) hope eveythings smooth sailing for us :)

      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.
