I have been approved by insurance to go ahead with surgery, everything has been turned into Synergy, so I am just awaiting a surgery date. I've been waiting a week already for a date and I'm getting anxious! I want this done :) any advice for me while I wait, or anything I should do to prepare?

Congratulations!! I would follow up with them if it's already been a week! I heard the same day from my surgeon and the insurance that I had been approved and to confirm my surgery date.

As for preparing, I would make sure you have lots of Liquid Protein on hand because you are not going to want to go shopping for that stuff after surgery (protein shakes, broth, Jello, etc). I also made sure that things around the house were caught up with since I knew I wouldn't want to do it for a while after surgery (laundry, etc). I also put a few books on my kindle that I had been wanting to read since you won't be doing much but walking and resting for at least the first few days after surgery. Hope that helps and good luck!!

Thanks! Are there any Protein powders that you recommend? Or that give you the most for your money? My Drs recommended Bariatric Fusion but I would like other options just in case.

I am really not the best person to ask. The Protein Shakes made me feel sick and I only used them until I was able to eat my protein. But I found EAS powder that is 100% whey protein and has 26g protein and is low carb at BJs. They sometimes have coupons for it. GNC has their own brand and is a good place to check, they have some good sales sometimes. Hopefully someone else can give you some more recommendations!

      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.
