My paper finally being submitted



Recommended Posts

Started my journey last September had to do a 6 months of care ,, when that was up in march I had to wait till august for them to even submit it . Well it's 2 weeks away I'm getting a little excited . During my 6 months visit I didn't loose much weight . I've started changing my eating habits and I've lost 20lbs , I'm still over weight but I'm trying to mentally prepare my self for this life style change . I don't know how long it will take the insurance to respond but I'm patiently waiting. I've read a lot of post on here and it's gives me inspiration to keep going . Thanks to all of y'all who post !!! It really makes a difference to us newbie that r still going thru the process. I will keep y'all updated .

      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.
