How long did it take to get a date after you were approved by your insurance?

I'm going to JFK....

How are you feeling? How was your overall experience?

How are you doing?

Im good :) 25 pounds down and i feel more beautiful everyday. I can do almost everything except for picking things up off the floor and sleep on my sides. I got tons of yummy fishes from wegmans and i eat 4 oz servings most of the time. I deff need to try to get more Protein. I suggest looking up Unjury protein you haveto order it but the vanilla in skim plus is AMAZING its like vanilla nesquick and their protein chicken Soup is great for when you cant take down solids but you cant stand the sweet anymore (i like salty over sweet)

Did you get your date yet?

      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.
