Recommended Posts

I started the process in Feb and I was just approved today! Yay! I'm so excited. The only bad side to it.....my surgery is not until July, wish it was sooner. I dont even have another doc appt until mid June. So the next two and a half months are going to go by reeealllllly slow.

I was told that surgery would be a month out after I was approved so I've been expecting an early May surgery, but oh well...what's two more months? :)

I feel pumped and ready to go now but I'm sure the nerves will kick in closer to. What I'm really nervous about is the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Ugh!

I used Unjury chicken Soup, and Soy Protein. Don't buy a container if you don't have to. Also the Atkins shakes aren't bad. I get the chocolate and mocha latte. If you have a local GNC they'll let you try samples of their protein drinks/powders. I don't get the nasty after taste with Soy, also chicken broth, beef broth and sugar free Jello helps too. Don't forget cream Soups and puddings.< /p>

      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.
