I received a call on Tuesday that I got approved and needed to come in for my pre-op Wednesday. Pre-op complete and started liquid diet today because my surgery is...

October 30th, 2014

I can't believe it! I was initially told that I wouldn't have surgery until early December.

Good luck to all and I hope you get the approval letter you're looking for :)

Good luck! My date is October 30 too. I met with the Dr on Sept. 11. I could have had surgery sooner but I needed to coordinate my time off work. I didn't expect it to happen this fast. I thought it would be next year before I got a date. Boy was I wrong.

Congrats on your surgery date!!!



My surgery was originally scheduled for Nov 3rd and then moved to Oct 27th. YIKES!I! I am starting my pre op diet tomorrow. I also cannot believe how fast things are moving. Once they submitted my paperwork I heard back in 5 days. I am just so looking forward to the new year cause I am hoping to be past most of the tough times by then.



Good luck again!!

      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.
