Sleeve planned for July here. Just finished my third appt. Doc said now it is a waiting game to get the 6 month program requirements done for both of my insurance. Did it all... Just gonna meet each month to check up and that is it.

you click on the person's name and go down to where it says add as a friend......sometimes it doesn't let you. I tried to add the other posters on this thread and it didn't let me.

So excited to have someone to go through this with!

As long as insurance cooperates, I'm hoping for early July. I'll have all of my requirements met by then. The nurse is doing everything she can to help me as I am a teacher and have some weeks off this summer to recover while my kids will be at the babysitter and camp. Very exciting!

Hi I'm new to this site, I'm scheduled for August due to my insurance and a vacation that has been paid for in early August. I'm starting the 3month program that Aetna requires and very excited! This site seems to be very informative and helpful.

I apologize. I am new to this site/app and I did not get a notification of replies.

I am so excited to have others on the same time like as I. I just completed my hos. classes, exercise info class, pysc. eval. and medical appt. My bariactric doc is now just stating we are waiting the clock out. Sigh.... I am ready. I appreciate the 6 mo. thing. But I have two insurances and my primary is a 4 mo. plan, whereas my secondary insurance is a 6 mo. So in order to have pretty much nothing out of pocket, I am in it for a few more months.

Got the Protein Drink thing down, Jello, Water, cottage cheese, and cut the soda and coffee out. I am not a patient person. I really want to get this boat moving. I am ready to move again. I am always in pain and tired. I daydream of enjoying the outdoors again. I need this tool.

ok, done ranting. lol.

      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.
