I only have 2 more meetings wiht my PCM, and my psych evaluation and then we submit to insurance! This is flying by so fast! Now the only thing to look foward to is to see if my husband will still be in the states for my surgery. He deploys near the end of October and I hope that I will be scheduled before he goes. My mother and my mother-in-law are going to come be with me even if he is here but it will be nice if he is here to see me. But I am betting him that when he comes home that he will not recgonize he. I am going to have to find a sexy dress and a pair of heals to wear! Also, thank you everybody for supporting me. It makes me feel like I am doing the right thing in regards to my health. ;)

Get my advice and get your psych eval ASAP. My insurance (BCBS) required 3 visits (interview, tests and final review) and it was spaced 2 weeks in between. Good luck! :)

My final visit is on the 14th and its a 3 hour long test. I got it scheduled early. I have tricare west and they only require one visit to the psych doc, but I had to be established as a new paitient first.

      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.
