July 24th for me.

I keep flipping between being really excited to get this done and then I catch myself thinking "OMG, are you seriously going to do this". Date can't get here soon enough so I this can stop.

July 31 here. I was approved last week via Aetna and having surgery at NYU. I feel unprepared! I feel like I need to have my stash of Vitamins, shakes and pops ready now. Headed to Italy for two weeks and them start my pro- op diet. I'm nervous. I don't know what to expect. I need to get my gym member ship. I feel like I'm planning a wedding. Sigh.... Here' to it all coming together.

My Scheduled Surgery Date is July 16th, Im happy, scared, excited and would do anything to have it be over already! I still have a few doctors and tests to go through, but everything is going well so far. I have insurance that will cover it as long as its medically necessary, which beleive me, it is!

      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.
