So happy to be joining and finally posting! This seems like an incredible place to be pre and post surgery. So Cigna put me through two weeks of hell, and after a denial for "missing paperwork" that they did receive, my surgeon did peer to peer review and I was approved yesterday for my April 15th sleeve surgery. Talk about cutting it close!! So this Monday, I will finally be on my way to a new, healthier me. Happy doesn't even describe how I'm feeling!!

Thank you all for the well wishes, I so appreciate them!! On the agenda for the day is a pedicure, stocking up on Premier Protein shakes (love those, hope I still will after), broth, Vitamin Water zero and then just spending time with my two kids. This really is so surreal!!

      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.
