HeyMichele, that is great! I'd love to be buddies if you are up for it. It seems that there are quite a few of us on the 7th. LESS than 2 weeks away now! :lol:

I start Wednesday with surgery date of 4/9. Not looking forward to the two week diet

I start my 2 week preop diet Wednesday as well with surgery on 4/9. I've been trying to have some of my favorite meals now (of course within moderation). I'm hoping the 2 weeks fly by because I am NOT too anxious to start the liquids!

I feel you! Here's to hoping those two weeks fly by! I'm here if you need any support! Have you gotten surgery jitters at all?

I still haven't received confirmation that I will get the surgery. I'm hoping to have a April date. Keeping my fingers crossed. I tried to get the surgery a few years ago and I was denied. So I'm being a little bit pessimistic.

Jfraz,

I understand the feeling. I am waiting for approval also it has been 14 days. I called and they said it was in processing. I keep thinking what if it is denied.. The waiting is so hard. I hope by next week it will be processed so I can set end of April surgery date.

I'm at what should be my final appt before submission for approval. In the waiting room and nervous. If everything goes as planned I'll be submitted to insurance by the end of this week. *fingers crossed^

Yeah, I am starting to get some jitters about it. I'll be sitting there thinking about it and my heart will start racing a little! I know that everything will be ok though!

How about you, any jitters or anything?

      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.
