So I finally getting into the groove of the 6month "hoop jumping" that the insurance requires and I get a call...

Hello Mr IMABear, I see you have just finished your second month of hoop jumping, yes. Well your insurance just changed their requirements to 3months.

What, 3months. Thats next month. OMG.

So, Psych was already done.

Cardiologist this past AM - US of carotids and Echo on Thursday, Pulmonary Function Test and Stress Test on Friday.

Nutritionist tomorrow morning.

What, Tentative OR Date Nov 7, OMG.

What have I gotten myself into.

Excited to move on with this, yet very nervous at the same time :o

      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.
