I'm new to this forum. I started my journey on March 15 when i had my first visit with my pcp. I've been through all the classes and I'm approved. I go Monday to find out my surgery date. So excited. Hope there is not a long wait for that. Feels like its been forever already. Everything has gone very smoothly so far that I'm just waiting for something to go wrong. Well hello again to everyone.

Isn't it great to get the approval letter !!! My surgery is 6/2/12, I almost feel like it will be a new birthday. My surgeon would have done me within 2-3 weeks of approval, but I chose to wait til schools was out for My so. Who is 10. I am looking forward to the hard work. Good luck to you and welcome

Got a surgery date. 6/19. The countdown begins.

Great. I had mine May 17 but it took 8 months for my insurance to approve.

Wow 8 months. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait that long. Your only a week or so out from surgery. How did it go? How do you feel now?

This is my second time the first time was 16 years ago. This time much easier because it was done as a closed procedure. I get tired but Protein helps a lot. But I am driving and going back to work on day 12. too weak to do the gym but I am going to try curves gym on Tuesday. Also 275lbs in 2-2012 doing diet presurgery to now 231lbs.

      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.
