OMG guys I'm actually approved!!! I can't believe it, I'm almost in a state of shock. It like this is REALLY happenig now! Surgery is one week from today and I was so afraid because they didn't submit to instance until yesterday that approval (or denial which I was preparing for) wouldn't come back in time. Everyone in the surgeons office, including the surgeon was unsure if I would get approved because I was told my insurance is very tough to approve but THEY DID!!

I'm in a state of utter shock but SOO excited! Now nerves are starting to hit me though ahhh! Thank you to everyone on here who has offerenee me advise, support or a kind word! ONE WEEK!!

      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.
