:( that sounds frustrating. I called my patient advocate two weeks ago to make sure everything is in order to submit to insurance. I dont want any surprises. She's not returning my calls or msgs!!

I understand completely...tomorrow morning is the day! It's my last weigh in and I speak with the surgeon and he makes his final decision on whether he is going to do the surgery. I hope all goes well.

I'm with you- my surgeons office had me sign the consent and pay the program fee $300 on 5/15 and then the witch that submits the paperwork to the insurance didn't do it until last Thursday 5/23 . She is soooo nasty and mean! So now I've been waiting for approval and refuse to call my surgeons office cause she is soooo mean and I'm afraid tog telling her off !! I will call Aetna tomorrow to see if they decided yet. I'm so nervous and afraid that I won't be approved. To me, this surgery is too good to be true. I've been waiting for so long for a tool to help me get this weight off and keep it off! Keep the faith even though there are bumps in the road. I believe that God will help us :)

      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.
