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?

Yes call

Where have you guys been buying your protien for after surgery

I got most of mine from a website called Nashua Nutrition. You can order samples for 1.95 each. There are many different brands and flavors. I also ordered from MyBariatricPantry and Unjury. I get the Atkins advantage and body fortress from Walmart. I have over 100 samples for after surgery, so I'd say I'm ready! :)

I ordered Unjury because i heard it is the most tolerable after sutgery. Protein Drink have not bothered me before, but some are foamy and I did not think that would go down well.

      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.
