My insurance APPROVED my surgery...first try!!! I am SO relieved!!! Just have to wait for the nurse to call and schedule the surgery!!!! This could take up to a week, as the program coordinator told me there are 10 people ahead of me to schedule. But it should be early June!!!

MusicalMomma,

So sorry it took so long to answer your question...my dr. only requires Clear liquids the day before surgery; however, I think that I may try doing Protein shakes for the week before surgery. Don't know how well I'll do, but we'll see.

congrats.....All. It's such a good exciting feeling. When I got my award letter last month I put it on the wall in my living room. I was so happy and very releaved it took me 2 yrs to get approved so I didn't know if I should cry or jump up and down. Anyway good luck to all.

      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.
