I completed the programs requirements the 1st week in October. I was on liquids for 30 days. But 1 delay after another happened, so back to solids for 2 weeks

I call or email 2x a week

& I know I am annoying them. I am annoying me.

This whole process has been so physically & emotionally exhausting.

I want more than anything to not be an elephant anymore, but this undefined time frame is really tiring.

So here we are & it's Thanksgiving & I don't feel like doing this... But I have to fake it for the kids. And as we get towards Christmas I don't know how to make plans.

That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially the going back and forth on the pre-op diet. I feel like the only way I'm making it through it is knowing there is an end in sight. I have no words of wisdom, just wanted to say that I hear you and am sorry things are not going smoothly so far!

I am sorry that would be really frustrating. I paid for my surgery so I didn't have to deal with any of that but I will say the preop diet was harder than eating afterwards. At least afterwards your not starving. I hope you get a solid date soon. Good luck-

Are things moving along for you now? I'm just curious. ..

      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.
