APPROVED!



Recommended Posts

Finally I was approved I have to see my surgeon on Oct 23rd to go over things and start the 2 week liquid diet. I'm so happy and nervous but glad very excited I got approved! Does anyone know what happens next? Is the liquid diet hard? Do they provide the shakes?

Congratulations! My surgery should be pretty close to yours if Oct 23 is 2 weeks before. Mine is Nov 10th. My doc doesn't require a 2 week pre-op diet, just full liquids the day before. I think every doc is different so you will probably have to ask them. Give them a call, I am sure someone can fill you in on what to expect.

Mine doesn't provide any food or Protein drinks, etc before or after surgery, but they gave us a list of approved products so we can buy them ahead of time. They also told us what we needed in terms of Vitamins & supplements.

      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.
