Hello, I'm new to the group. Thought I would give it a try. I'm currently through with the Pre-op workout. Waiting from a call from my surgeons office today to make the second appt so we can move forward with the insurance co. Hope it doesn't take too long for a response. Need to get on with my journey to my new life. :)

Hi Debbie! I'm right about where you are in the process. The waiting makes me crazy! Good to have you here, maybe we'll have surgery around the same time. ;)

Yes, sounds like we are waiting, waiting & waiting. It's hard, but in the end it will all be worth it. So glad to talk with someone so close to my journey. Hope we are close with the surgery date. :) I will keep you informed. Nice to meet you.

Thank you for the warm welcome. :) I'm awaiting my last Nutrition appt. On March 4 due to needing 3 consecutive visits for the insurance approval. Once I go, I call the doctor to submit and then we are a go. :))) so excited.

      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.
