OMG' date=' Why didn't she ask you to keep a "improved food diary " during your previous appointment? Have they submitted your stuff to the insurance people yet? Im sorry they are having you do extra work at the 6 mo supervised diet :([/quote']

This is the first time I met with her.....my 6 mo was with my pcp. ......they can't submit to insurance until I am done with the nut! That's why I was so pissed......oh well nothing I can do about it......guess I will have to be patient!

That is ridiculous!! She should have been clear with things from the jump!! I'm sorry you have this delay :(

Thanks......when I made this apt I thought it was just like a consult thing and it would only be once.......guess not! What really gets me is that my surgeon and nut are 2 1/2 hrs away! I hate the drive!

Well I had my pre-op appointment today & also pre-registeration at the hospital. I had labs, ekg, answered a zillion questions ..asked a ton too! I start my liquid diet on the 1st & then surgery follows on the 15th. Very anxious, excited, overwhelmed... you name it & I've probably felt it! lol I love reading everyone's post here in the October thread because we are going through pretty much the same things. :)

Got a call Tuesday...I've been approved for surgery and is set up for Oct 3rd. They rushed my approval because my gallbladder is in bad shape. So happy for all the October peoples! Since its kind of quick I've starting getting nervous about getting ready because I haven't bought anything besides the Protein mix I already have.

      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.
