HI - I have been reading all of your posts for a couple of months or so now however I just signed up today. I have already seen my surgeon, seen the psych and the NUT and I confirmed with my insurance company that they got all the paperwork last Tuesday so this Tuesday 3/31 will be one week. They give a two week turn so I should know by April 7th...if I am approved... oh gosh I hate to wait.... I feel like I am so ready to get going on this new adventure for the rest of my life. (looks like when my approval comes thru, I might be scheduled for beginning of May for surgery)

I really appreciate how open and honest everyone is and feel like I have learned a lot of tips and great advice along the way. Just wanted to say Thank you for all the inspiration and Good Luck to everyone!!

Any one else playing the waiting game as well???

Question? Does your 6 month wait period start once the paperwork is sent to the insurance company (meaning PSY testing) or when the first Initial visit?

HI - no I was lucky that they did not require the six month NUT visit, not exactly sure why... but I'm not going to question it. Don't want them to change their mind.

      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.
