Hey everyone, today I finally got everything in order and saw my 3rd surgeon for my last & final consult! (The other two I saw closed practices... ) and I finally got everything submitted to insurance today for my surgery! I'm so excited and cannot wait for the next 7 to 14 days to go by fast! I'm nervous and anxious to get my approval from insurance so I can set up my surgery... now, I started this process last august hopeing I would have had surgery in april. Well that wasn't the case cause I had to switch insurance plans because it was open enrollment this year for me. And now I'm definitely going to be having it next month! Cannot wait its been very stressful trying to get this all done... anyways a little about me...

I'm 5'5 I weigh 312lbs (started this journey at 340lbs) I cannot wait and just wondering if any of yous out there are also waiting for insurance approvals.:) just needing some friendly people going thro the same with me so I can talk about all the ups and downs. Thanks :)

      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.
