Today I saw the psychiatrist and also had my final appointment with my doctor. Got all of the paperwork together and added the medical clearance letter. Afterwards, I dropped the paperwork off at the surgeon's office. Now all there is to do is wait. The surgeon's office will call me in a couple of days to schedule the consultation. I sure wish I could have made that appointment today. I am more than ready to do this! Hopefully, I will be able to get in for the consultation by next week. Crossing fingers (cuz I can't cross my darn legs)!

You're on your way to the losers bench. How long did it take you to get to this point?

I started the process on June 30th. It really has not been that long....just feels like it. Ya know, once you make up your mind about something, you want it right now!!! My insurance has the 3 month medically supervised diet stipulation. I truly think that is such a ridiculous requirement. I am hoping to hear from the surgeon's office by Tuesday at the latest. Feeling like a kid waiting to go to Disneyland!! Strange, huh?!?!?!

      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.
