EAS may be changing their packaging because all of their products in the purple containers were at least 50% off at my grocery store. Not sure if that's one of the Proteins approved by everyone else's Dr, but if so it's worth checking out.

Hi everyone! I was hoping to be a July sleever, but slooooow paperwork processing has me focusing on August.

I am 41 and a mother of four. I suffer from chronic debilitating Migraines, severe sleep apnea, pernicious anemia, congestive heart failure and chronic hypertension. My BMI is 36, but I have more than enough co-morbidities. I have my final weigh in with my surgeon 7/30 and we will schedule the surgery then. I haven't received an official approval yet, as I must wait for my primary insurance to deny before submitting to Medicare.

This waiting game is killer.

Anyone else in NE Florida?

Looks like I may be an AUGUST sleever, too! I have done my psych evaluation, chest X-ray, primary care doctor visit, and abdominal ultrasound. I have my EGD consult tomorrow and sleep study consult next week. Moving right along. I will be doing a revision from the band.

@@chimboree26 if you dont mind me asking why are you getting a revision to the band, i had originally planned to have the band but my doc said it would be beneficial as i would not lose enough weight

Hi. I started this process with an online info course in late March and had my first appt with the surgeon on April 20th. I finally have all my various approvals and had my pre-op consult today. They gave me two potential surgery dates: Aug 13th or the 18th.

I'm frustrated at how long this has taken so I'm glad to have at least an idea of a date but also I find myself a bit nervous at the reality. The fact that I have to wait almost another month increases my anxiety. The red tape in this country is ridiculous.

It was required by my Dr. that I obtain a therapist while going through this process but I find that absolutely useless. This is my first post here but I've gotten more help and peace of mind reading forums and watching YouTube videos from others who have gone through this than a therapist who knows of someone and keeps sharing the same stories with me of her interaction with that person. So thank you all for being here.

:-)

Thea

      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.
