Surgery date that is. ;) June 4!! I got approved by Cigna less than 24 business hours! (Filed on Friday at noon. Approval Monday morning.) I was so surprised! Now I am finally anxious because it is real! It was just sort of an idea up to this point. 4 weeks from today - I am sure it will go by fast...

I got my date to by Oxfords. My surgery its June 15. I'm excited!! Can't wait. I was able to do it sooner but due to the three weeks of after surgery that we have to take off. I chose that date. It's so real now. Soon I will have to start the liquid diet.

Hey! I got my date too! June 17. It's a Wednesday, so barring complications, I should be out by Friday or Saturday. I'm a revision from band to RNY, doc says he does his in one shot most of the time. I hope I'm one of those times. Then I got hubby for the weekend, yeah!

I CANT WAIT!!!!!!

I just got mine today which is June 15th. I had to wait for a few months to get mine, because my

daughter had gallbladder surgery. This is the best mother's day gift I could ask for. Now it's

just a flurry of pre-op testing and getting clearance from my drs. two weeks before surgery. Wish-

you all the best of luck!

Sounds good to me. Even though I am nervous, I know I'm doing the right thing.

Yes, we will do great! Just wondering how I will feel on seeing my dr. on June 4th after being on the liquid diet since the 1st. Hope I have the energy to go out, lol.

I know we'll all do great. As long as we follow the rules and question, question, question we should be fine.

My surgeon has only put me on the liquid diet the day before surgery. Maybe, just maybe cuz I've lost 37 lbs since I first went in to tell them I want the revision. IDK.

      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.
