I just finished my last dietician appointment today, so hopefully I'll hear good news soon! I'm hoping for an October date, but realistically my RNY will be in early November. :-)

That's great to hear! How did your appointment go? Did you get all of your questions answered?

Wow 6 months with nutritionist, that is incredible!!!! especially with all the info you can obtain. I get 1 visit with mine. But, with my insurance....I allowed 3 visits per year every year if I choose. Most people don't take advantage of it.

It went well. All my questions were answered. Everything on my checklist has been completed, and my insurance requirements are pretty low (basically, the surgeon just has to say I need surgery) so I don't expect approval to take long. :-)

@@asnapril, I had to complete a 6 months supervision as well. At first I was upset but I'm getting what I need to be successful after surgery. My last visit with nutritionist is the first week on November so I'm hoping for surgery at the end of November or the first of December. I'm excited and nervous at the same time cause November will be here soon.

Once I complete my NUT and psych evaluation, then I will have my blood work usually schedule up to 1 week before. I am not sure he will do an EKG, since I recently had an echo done. I do need to get my Vitamin D levels re drawn this month because I was critically low and have been taking 4000 units supplemental for a while now.

      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.
