I just want to say hello ladies, I've been lurking around this site for a while gathering some great information (thank you). I'm at the last stages of pre-op, I have an appointment with the NUT on Tuesday and I will find out then if there is anything left for me to do. The Nervousness is setting

Well welcome. When I was finished with the preop stuff it all seemed to happen so fast.

I'm so envious. I feel like I'm not losing weight at all. Tomorrow makes one month. Day of surgery I was 240. I've been at 227/229 for two weeks now.

What are you eating. How much Protein are you taking in. Are you exercising? If all is in order, a call to your NUT or md is necessary

Hi ladies, just received information that all of my information has been sent to the insurance company. Now the wait begins. I have Cigna, for those of you with this insurance, how long did it take to receive approval? I am ready to be a 'LOSER' :) in a good way

      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.
