My date is 4/8 - finally approved thru CIGNA. They denied it at first and my doctor did a peer to peer call and it's been approved. I am drinking the shakes and I am allowed 3 oz of lean meat/fish/chicken but I am starving!! Not losing a thing and I don't understand that. So glad you started this post. Guess I will stay follow you :)

Sitting in hospital room now, waiting to go down. Surprisingly calm and ready to start. This bit is the worst. Very happy to have lost almost 30 pounds on my four week pre op diet. Met with consultant, got stockings on, silly hospital knickers and gown. Ready to go!!

I really am hungry and having a hard time . Want to cheat but I can't risk anything now. Sick of the shakes - that can't be good and my body is hanging on to the weight! I would at least like to see the scale move more then 1 lb. Just keep thinking 3 more night - I can do it. Any suggest for the hunger ? I am drinking the Water. I will confess, I haven't heard my stomach talk to me in over 35 years!! :rolleyes:

      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.
