I can't believe how crazy waiting for approval is making me. The have had it so long. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I just want to know and move forward. I feel powerless and I wish I could do something to move things along. Good thing though, I found out that I can check the status of my referal Online through my account. So at least I can stop harrasing the insurance. It just stinks to have to see ''proccessing''. I'm driving myself crazy looking all Day. I just want this so bad and I want to get started. I have 3.4 lbs to go so of they call me I am so ready. I just need to stop stressing about it and let God take over. I know that He is in control and I just need to trust His timing.

the waiting for approval is the hardest part. It is hard on us not to have control and this is one area where we are at the mercy of the inusrance companies and the doc office. We do everything they ask us and we still wait. Wishing you the best and hoping you hear something very soon.

      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.
