Well......I had all my appointments( Nut x2, Psych x2, blood work, sleep study) finished by the end of November. I then needed to finish telephone consults per my insurance company- that was finished December 23. I saw my surgeon on January 12th. Paper work submitted to insurance last week so- just waiting for their approval to come through. Pre-op meeting Jan.22nd. So the nurse said I could have surgery 2/3, 2/10, or 2/24 depending on when we hear from the insurance company. I will have to start my two week pre-surgery diet when I definitely have my date. I guess February is the magic month!

My surgeon's office called and told me I needed to reschedule because they had a "scheduling conflict"... so now my new date is Feb 16th. I'm a bit disappointed and a lot annoyed I have to ask other people to change their plans for me if they can... but on the bright side I won't be getting surgery in the middle of Mercury Retrograde now (a bit of astrology humor).

I am sorry that they had to change you. Wow, that would be upsetting. Hang in there!

They are lucky that you were nice to them. I think I would have been crying or angry. But I think it would be worse the closer the date was. I mean, how long is your pre-op liquid phase? Can you imagine if you had started that already?

@@Jana64 I was saying that earlier! They are lucky I hadn't already started the liquid bc it's 2 weeks. lol I think it was an honest mistake, but if it happens again I'm gonna go into Babzilla mode I think bc it took it out of me today!

@@BeautifullyCreated1982 the first one is Jan 21-Feb 11th per the farmers almanac :)

      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.
