Hey Freelee. Glad you liked the book. I am feeling better every day. Struggling to get anywhere near enough Water in. Love having all this time to myself. Love having good support network. Feeling blessed.

If you are trying to get ready for your June date, I can give you lists to help you prepare. Meanwhile here's a tip? flavored water (or just use coconut Water, I like bai5 Molokai Coconut) and add your favorite Protein powder. I really like GNC Total Lean vanilla Bean. Put in a blender and yum!

I am a little late to this thread but I will be 69 in July and am having RNY surgery on April 23. I'm on a Medicare advantage policy through Humana and they are covering my surgery, no problem. five away from surgery I'm so far my only costs have been two $45 co-pays.

Currently in the middle of my pre-op diet. So far so good.

I have not encountered any age issues in my dealings with my providers.

      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.
