It will come faster then you think! Who is your surgeon? I had mine on Nov. 30th in Mason City with Dr. Ver Steeg but I live in Waterloo...

That is also my surgeon

It took about 2 weeks to get everything prepped to submit for my approval, as frustrating as it was being on this end thinking they just weren't getting their job done in a timely matter once it was submitted and approved in one shot I realized the prep work they were doing to assure it only took one time to get it approved. Trust me, once they get the green light it will fly by! The day I got the call that insurance approved everything they set up the final preop appointments and I had my surgery date... then I had my own personal freak out thinking it was moving to fast. ;-) It will happen soon and like everything in this process it takes amazing amounts of patience. Good luck!!

      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.
