I'm in that same boat right now. It has been one week, one day since my decision visit with the surgeon. All my pre ops are finished. As soon as insurance clears, I can get my date!! Good luck to you. Hope we both get cleared soon!

What classes did you have to take? Every surgeon requires something different. I had 4 sessions with a nutrition psychologist, 2 meetings with a nutritionist, lots of lab work, AbG, urine screening, ultra sound, barium swallow, EKG, an informational session at the surgeons office, and a consult with the anesthetist. All before insurance clearance. I am even registered at the hospital already. Hoping to hear from insurance company this week!

      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.
