Well I was all set for Oct. 9th should of been starting my pre-op diet but went to my pre-op appt. and was told I was scheduled at the wrong hospital since Cigna doesn't approve my surgeons hospital we have to go to the only hospital Cigna does approve here in Houston which is crazy since Houston has a huge medical center it's a thing my husbands company has with Cigna but I found out I'm not the only patient he has affiliated with the same company and we all have the same hospital issue so now I'm waiting to find out the date. It seems like its taking forever my 6 months was over in July and was denied on August 9th because of the hospital finally approved in September now waiting for that date. Well I've been at it since february I guess I could wait alittle longer. Everyone have a wonderful afternoon.

      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.
