HINT!!!

Start to taper your caffine NOW... I was able to get through the process with NO caffine withdrawal side effects, and they CAN be nasty!!!.

Hello everyone I'm new here, today is my sleep study I have finished all the requirements for surgery, the last thing is to submit my papers to the insurance company, my very first weigh in my BMI was 39.98 but a week later and every appointment after I have been at 40 so I'm really nervous in getting approved, but would the doctors have me go through the whole process if they thought I would be denied

Hi Vonvon. Personally, I don't know much about the BMI qualifications but I'm sure there are plenty of people on this site that do! I hope you find more on this topic.

      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.
