Oh the Soup was horrendous. After two days I just stopped eating it. I couldn't.

I managed to choke down the shakes for the required week pre-op, but switched to Unjury post-op. I also only used one scoop of the B.A. soup. I used Unjury chicken broth instead for my "soup" portion.

@@Megan00 Hmmm they didn't tell me this was an option. If I can't manage it after a couple days maybe I'll call and ask them if I have any other options.

Yes call at least with the light Soup you can choose more the one flavor. I stocked up over they weekend FYI: day 1 liquid diet and I feel like I am dying (LOL) already if you have any suggestion or was to get thru this please share I am so hungry ............I had a shake this morning already

@@Megan00 If they say it's okay I will be so happy. This BA Soup is just so hard to get through! I actually went to bed without "dinner" last night. Are you going to be at the 2.5hr class tonight? I am going to be there!

Let me know what they say

I am not able to make the classes, however I am going to start requesting leave in advance to leave work early to make some of the class I think it may be very helpful

Anyone have trouble getting ahold of someone in the office regarding your insurance approvals?

I had an awful time in the fall, before the practice split up. It took a month to have my records sent. A month! Many people on BP are pleased with them but I know of several who have had problems. Maybe it's because of the split. I called & spoke to the Office Manager & finally got some help. Good luck!

I had a check up a couple of weeks ago and things were fine. They had new paperwork and procedures because of the changes, but overall...it was a good visit.

I am so mad to learn at the last minute about the $300 I have to pay Bluepoint for the liquid diet! I thought they would give us guidelines to go by and we got our own food which would be much more cost efficient!!!

Oh wow @tafuller. It was $250 last year. At the time I did not realize that it was nonrefundable, & I did not get approved. Been appealing for almost a year. If I get a final denial then Yep! I'm out the $250.

what sense does that make??!!!

      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.
