I have my last nut appt on Monday, October 13th. My file will be submitted that day for approval. Hopefully the turn around time is quick. I meet with my surgeon on the 21st and have my EGD scheduled for the 24th. Hoping to have my approval in hand when I go yo see him on the 21st. I am ready to get the weight off.

I know what you mean, it hasn't hit me yet either!

Hasn't hit me either! I'm trying to focus on getting everything prepped and trying to research as much as possible. The complication stories are hard to stay away from. :/

I'm tentatively on the schedule for 11/4 but because I'm still trying to finalize everything (insurance approval, wear the C-pap for 2 weeks, and lose the rest of my pre-op goal), it might not happen until January. I'm giving it everything I've got, though!

Insurance was approved today! I'm officially on the schedule for 11/4!!! Woah! I can't believe how quickly it is approaching. I have my pre-op appt on 10/27 and the only thing that will stop me is if I don't make my weight loss goal (18lbs to go). I'm going hard core (3 shakes, a Cocotein and one lean Protein meal). I think I'll make it!

      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.
