When you break it down to brass tacks........the approval is the biggie.

We all kinda harbored a subconscious thought of relief if we did not get approved. The relief that we wouldn't have to give up our huge love for food. The pleasure of eating whenever we want, whatever we want and however much we want. And if we were not approved, we could go right out and eat to satisfy the disappointment. Cmon, fess up.....you know you thought it.

But you ARE approved and thank goodness. Cause you will find you can still get the pleasure of eating the foods you like, when you want. Except now you will be able to do everything else in the world you have been missing out on.

Now you are going to eat to live.

Congrats on your approval and good luck with your procedure and weight loss. Enjoy the new life that awaits you. ;)

      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.
