Hello EVERYONE,

Just want to share in my celebration today while shouting to the top of my lungs that I received my approval for my surgery today. I am so overwhelmed with JOY that I didn't have anymore requirements.

Next is my surgery date and I will know by tomorrow. I am shooting for next month (JUNE). There are openings so I'm jumping in head first. I need to heal and be ready to enjoy the summer with my kids.

Thanks for all your support before now and after and I will keep everyone posted when I settle on a date.

Congratulations!! I received my approval today too! I was already scheduled for May 27th...started liquid diet today! This process was so smooth and went by fast. The timing couldn't have been any better...I'm a Teacher and my last day of school is May 26th. I have all summer to recover and begin my next phase of this process.

Good luck to you...hope you get your date soon!

Thanks everyone!!! @@SavorySweet I agree that this process is going so fast and I am blessed that I am able to be in this whole heartily, no doubts or reservations.

@@Martene81 Oh yeah!!! I couldn't get a surgery date without an approval at my medical center. That is awesome your date is just around the corner and it worked out to coincide with your summer break. Your student are going to be in for a treat when school starts back in the fall. Have you told anyone at your school?

I know you will keep us posted on your progress. I will be watching and many blessings!!

@@lisaanewme67 I did tell a few people at the school I'm at but the great thing is I'm transferring to another school next year and I don't know anyone there so no one will know that I've had surgery ????

Blessings to you as well I will definitely keep updating on my progress, you won't be too far behind me!

      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.
