It's official I have been approved by my insurance to have my sleeve done on July 31. And it's a good thing they said yes quickly cause im on day 6 of pre op diet and didn't want to be doing it in vain.

I've got an appt 2morrow... All clearances... Not sure what to expect yet. Hmm

Usually after your approved you just need to get blood work done and an endoscopy before the surgery. Good luck!

Well I told my doctor that I need to get this done before I started a new job so helped me. He literally looked in his calendar and said July 25 let's get everything done by then and so I did.

The bloodwork called me one morning and said can you come in today. And I did cause I didn't eat anything. And the endoscopy is always scheduled a week from your surgery

      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.
