Mine is an insurance thing. I started this process in June. My insurance requires a six month daily food journal and monthly classes.

Dec is the best time for work schedule. Always slows down just before Christmas and good time for surgery and recovery. Clients are more focused on Christmas activities, etc and not so much about productivity. January they come back with a vengeance. ????. Need to be well healed and ready to go by then.

For me it's only because I have a month off between December and January. But I'm also self pay so I could choose whatever date I want. But I wanted maximum down time so I can recover

Yeah this month is the end of my insurance required D&E visits. Last one on the 28th I've had my preop meeting with surgeon a few weeks ago. As soon as my file is ready to go it'll be sent to the insurance. She said even though I didn't want a date in December to get it sent straight away so I can get the date I want. It's probably not the surgeons being busy but how many OR's available at the hospital. For this same surgical group I saw a surgeon on a thursday and had my gallbladder out on the monday. My Dr took a month off in May so I assume she works all December. I feel sure I'll get a date since I'm on track for a November one anyways and thus will have my pick before those on track for December but I think December is busy bc ppl want to get the surgery before the end of the year and the reset of deductibles.

No date yet, but I'm most likely having mine in December. I'm a little bit nervous, a little excited, a little bit overwhelmed all rolled into one.

      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.
