The moment you find out you are approved....

I just found out I got approved by my insurance. Curiosity kiilled the cat. I had to call my insurance about a different issue. I figured while I had them on the phone, I would just inquire about my approval process. Had they recvd the documents? Where is it in the approval process? Well the rep came back on, verified that they had docs and then verified that a letter was mailed out to my surgeon and to myself providing authorization/approval for WLS. I think I almost passed out.

Initial reaction: Tears of joy

2nd reaction: WTF is getting ready to happen?!?!?

My surgery date is scheduled for November 9th! If I didn't have a few work related projects going on in October, I swear I would move that date up to, but November 9th is the divine date that I am going to stick with. Any other November 9th surgery dates out there?

      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.
