I was able to get on a back up list for when people cancel or reschedule. I have completed everything so I am just waiting for a date which the wait is between 5 - 6 months after approval. But if this speeds it up, I am all for it!! I can be there in 1hour. LOL I don't even need a change of clothes!! Just kidding... but so serious!! They said it is at least a week notice!! I told her all I need in 20 mins to get someone to pick the kids up and to let my job know. LOL Good Luck to everyone still waiting... its so hard!! :unsure:

5-6 months wait for a surgery date? wow...your surgeon must be incredibly busy...I think with my surgeon it's only about a 2-week wait once all approvals are done...best wishes to you

      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.
