Waiting On Approval



Recommended Posts

My journey started in June 2012 with a seminar. I had my first appointment with the surgeon Aug. 3rd. The month of Aug and Sept were all my psych, nutrition appts, and my medical clearance. I had my educational classes in October. Now I am just waiting to hear about

approval. They sent in my paperwork November 6th and should take 2-2 1/2 weeks for approval. Fingers crossed I can have surgery in the beginning of December. There is no liquid diet in the program, I have lost 9 pounds already and the surgeon would like 6 - 11 pounds more. I have been reading post for awhile and this looks like a good support while going through the motions.

      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.
