My insurance required 3 months of a doctor led program with also seeing a fitness specialist and psychologist. It felt like six months! lol! But it was worth it...it gave me time to adjust to my decision and lose a little weight before surgery. And my insurance approved me without any problems.

I'm curious did everyone have to do the 6 month nutrition program ? Prior to surgery ? I am currently starting the long process and August 5 I meet my surgeon

I had to do a whole year and I'm glad I did it and it was worth it, it seemed like forever but it came quick

Just finished week 1 of pre-op and I'm down 12 lbs! It's really hard but worth it! And thankfully, I too have a great family support system. My husband is the best!

      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.
