it should be immediate. I am paying out of pocket for both my psych and my nutritionist to forward their results and evaluation to my surgeon for my approval packet. my nutritionist assured me my results will be sent to my surgeon within 3 days of payment remittance. the psychologist sends them within 3 days as well. although I could opt to stay in network for other covered docs, they are backed up for MONTHS...I cannot wait that long. one in network nutritionist wanted to START my 3 month nutritional evaluation at the end of APRIL...when I am already tentatively scheduled for surgery the first week of may! uh uh that's way too far away!

It only took one week for my report to be processed, I would called them to get a estimated time frame.

      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.
