Hi Fran, how is your pre-op experience going? Do you have all your required stuff done and just waiting for 'the' day like I am?

Sorry. Haven't responded, work has been soooooo busy. I have my 7 th weigh in on aug 26th, then I turn in all my paper work on Sept 6th. That will be the last appt before surgery. After waiting so long my insurance better approve me. I'm hoping they will since I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. Cross your fingers.

Here's saying a prayer that everything works out for ya! I have BCBS if Michigan insurance and they don't give preauthorizations. So what this means is that I have to trust that the hospital I'm working with is correct about me meeting all my requirements prior surgery. I would just die if I got a bill from them because of some mishap and they didn't pay for it!

      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.
