So...got word back...6 months of supervised weight loss. Im not as disappointed as i thought id be. Perhaps God's way of saying slow down. Lets take this one step at a time.

I had to do the 6month program too. Well I was doing 6 months, then Cigna changed there requirements to 3, but I was already in my 5th month. So, I only got done 1 month earlier.

I think having to do the supervised, gives you time to change habits, learn as much as possible, go to support groups, and generally get in the mindset you need to start your new life.

Good luck, you'll do great I'm sure. :)

Same thing with my insurance. I was hoping for sooner but oh well, it will be here before we know it.

      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.
