Very cool. Were you approved already?? My last weigh-in is 11 days away, then we're submitting to insurance. Please keep your fingers crossed I'm approved! I should be getting surgery first week or 2nd week in January :) Good luck to you!

crossing my fingers for you both. the waiting seems to be one of the hardest parts. Just try practicing some of the new ways you will be living while you wait. Give up the carbonated drinks, the coffee, if you are a smoker quit now. Start sipping and getting your Fluid requirements in now. Try and find some sample packs of yogurt and Vitamins to try out. Walk if you can. Lots of things to help you get prepared for a successful journey. Your journey starts today. The day you decided to have this surgery you began the journey. You are going to love 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.
