That's so exciting!! You are on your way!!

I'm waiting for my insurance approval--and then I'll get scheduled, too. I'm excited and nervous, have been really focusing on trying to improve eating habits, etc.

Wishing you luck! Please let me know if you find the pre-op lists...I'm going to go look for them now =)

Thank you so much for your kind words!

You know how much longer it will take for your approval?

You're on the right track by focusing on improving your eating habits. I have been trying to do the same, it's a little difficult but once you start and dedicate yourself you can totally do it!

Were you able to find that pre-up lists?

Just found out that I'm APPROVED!!! I'm fairly sure I'll be scheduled for June (if not sooner---eeek!). Just got the letter from my insurance today, so I'll be talking to my doctor's office on Monday. I'm thrilled and a little scared but mostly HOPEFUL! Go Junies!!!

      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.
