Recommended Posts

I have been approved now I am nervous as crap thinking hey this is really going to happen . I was so anxious calling BCBS asking about my approval then today they said YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED and now I am like wow. I did everything in less than a month all the way from consult to approval I was determined. I look forward to becoming healthier but I am not sure why so many emotions. I am suppose to find out my surgery date this Friday. My emotions is starting to take over a brand new me with bad nerves right now.

Hello,

I am new as well and I will be having my gastric sleeve on Thursday, September 26th. I'm feeling mixed emotions as well. I'm excited at what the future holds for me, but I am very nervous about the surgery itself. This is such a huge step and one I have waited a long time for. I'm 5'3" and 270lbs. I look forward to seeing a new me at about 135???? One can only hope. I wish you all the luck on your new journey. We can do this!

      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.
