I guess I should get on the ball and decide which Protein Shakes I'm using.....eek!

QUESTION: For those of you who got your surgery date, WHEN did you get it? I'm asking because I have to do a six month program for my doctor's office-not necessarily for my insurance co and I'm wondering when you actually learn of your surgery date?? I'm in month 5 of 6 and go on January 22nd for my surgery class, meeting with a doctor, an ultrasound and more labs. After that my psych eval is January 27th. I should be learning of my date soon right?

I didn't get my date until everything was completed. Diet, psych, egd, and Drs clearance were all completed before I got a date. I am using isoprene rtd and powder.< /p>

I have completed all of the requirements including submitting my lab work and medical clearance letter from my pcp. I go for my 6th and last weigh-in on the 21st of this month. I haven't received my surgery date yet either. I was told by my nut last month that I will probably be sleeve around mid-February but; I am hoping it will be before then.

Yes, I had to get everything done before they would schedule. They had to have results from all tests and medical clearance first. I got my date the second they received all the results.

I hope to be sleeved in February. I've completed everything, but I have to wait until Jan. 20 to have my paperwork submitted to the insurance company. Hopefully that will only take 5-10 days and then get my surgery date if all goes well with the insurance approval process.

Feb 11 is my 6th month appointment and I have all of my other requirements fulfilled. I have my preop apt scheduled for Jan 29th. So technically I could go anytime after Feb 11th. However I have been told that I won't know when that is going to be until shortly after my preop. Good luck! @@KatieD6982

      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.
