I've had weak moments too, like Thanksgiving. Our docs have to expect that. We just have to get up and back on the wagon, right!

There was a glitch with my insurance paperwork, I am scheduled for Dec. 18th but my surgeons office is resubmitting for approval tomorrow. Please send positive vibes I need this to go through. I am supposed to be starting my Pre-op diet on thursday. MY pre-surgery testing is scheduled for the 10th. Positive thoughts: This will happen!

I know I have seen people mention pre op testing at the hospital like right before surgery. They have not told me what this is ? I have my last appointment with my surgeon on the 12th and do whatever at the hospital afterwards. Anyone know what they will be doing ?

      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.
