Is everyone exercising with the shakes? I'm so exhausted....I haven't been. Probably why I've only lost 12 pounds....

Mine is not a full liquid diet, but shakes for

Breakfast and lunch and then Protein and veggie (low fat, low carb) for dinner. I started Monday and I'm on it for two weeks. liquids only the day before Surgery.

I am sitting on pins and needles just staring at the phone at times wishing it would ring and I would have an answer from the insurance company! I am so ready to have a date! Did anyone call to see where the insurance company was in the process? Is it worth it? Will it move them along quicker?

I didn't call as often as I wanted to, and it turns out people didn't have the right paperwork. Who

Knows how long it would've taken if I hadn't called and brought it to their attention. My paperwork could've been submitted two weeks earlier than it was. Keep calling!!

I found that to be the case the first time I called. My program had changed in the new year and I had to back track to do a couple of extra things. I think I will find the number and call today. Thanks for the encouragement! I am so excited to go forward and start the new me!

Heading to my last weigh in today. Then everything gets submitted to insurance. Hoping for a quick answer, so surgery can get moved up! Been off from work with severe back and leg pain. Off all of Feb., went back for two weeks and off again. Pain management doctor has nothing else for me at this point, because nothing is working. I want to get this process moving ASAP. The sooner I lose the weight, the sooner I can get my back fixed. Then maybe i can actually LIVE my life! Fingers crossed!

      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.
