Today is day one of my preop diet for my 5/22 surgery (which hasn't been approved yet). I am starving and I am so upset because this could possibly be for no reason! Ugh!

For no reason? There is a reason! Your health!

I know the first day (and the second) are hard..

And with the uncertainty on top of that, I'm sure it makes it a bit frustrating. Go into it with positive thoughts and know even if its put off a bit.. You are taking a step towards weight loss and health :)

For no reason? It's for your health! Even if you have to do a few days extra, you are working towards moving your mind and your body in the right direction. That's an AWESOME reason.

You can do it!!

She said for no reason because she has not been approved yet.

But it's not for "no reason". Losing weight is never for "no reason" if it will make you more healthy.

You are holding on to one of your reasons on your picture..... Yes it may be a little frustrating but just stay focused and pray......

Thanks everyone! Called insurance again and they said it is still in medical review. It would be easier if I had a definite answer! Keeping my fingers crossed! Should know tomorrow!

      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.
