I just contacted my patient advocate and she was missing my cardiac clearance, so she didn't submit my paperwork like she should have a few weeks ago, I was able to scan and email it to her and she just submitted it today, so now it's the waiting game, she says typically it takes 2 weeks to get approval, and now they are scheduling surgeries for August, so looks like I won't be a July Sleever, but I am just glad I have had my documents submitted and hopefully I will get my approval in 2 weeks, so I can get sleeved in August!! Wish me luck!!

I plan on it, I figure I will call them tomorrow and make sure they received everything. It has been a long process and I have been back and forth, but the thought of dying and leaving my children and husband is too much for me not to finally get myself healthy and make sure I am around for my familia for a long time! Thank you for the kind words I am so excited!!

I started my two week pre-op today. Not liquids, high Protein, no carbs. Three high protein meals and three clear liquid Protein Drinks a day. Yes, I know how lucky I am. I know I can do this!!!

Had an appointment with the physical therapist and she said she's never had a patient my age in such good shape. Woohoo! I just turned 68!

I agree, the easiest is the protein/low carb diet. I was really impressed that I was really never hungry with exception to truly missing my diet cokes, carbs and wine! But it was all worth it when the surgeon said I did a great job at shrinking my liver.

Why is it that some doctors prescribe a liquid diet my doctor here in Dubai just advised on a no fat diet ... Does anyone know why the difference?

      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.
