I have a tentative surgery date of Dec 16th. :) and I only found this site 5 minutes ago so I was surprised to find a post right away. I've got quite a bit of paperwork to get in order yet, but it should all be sorted.

What are your emotions like right now. I know the waiting is driving me crazy. I am ready, more than ready. I actually struggling with dieting and I don't know why. I'm not eating a ton of food and I have a few days where I'm solidly sticking to my diet. Then I want sushi. I haven't been given an official plan to follow just don't lose more than 20 if I do my bmi won't be high enough and gain nothing or my insurance won't approve. I havent gained but I'm not loosing either. I was hoping to lose 15 before surgery, but I have 46 days I can do it!!!

I've only received a 'tentative' surgery date as I recently had a baby and the surgeon hasn't signed off on the surgery yet, though I don't understand why I would have to delay it... I'm not breastfeeding, which was the initial concern.

Gotta do my psych eval Monday, then one more appt with my NUT next month, then submitted to my insurance! According to my surgeon's office, my insurance provider has a history of quick turn around, as far as approvals/denials - so provided everything continues to go as smoothly as it has thus far, my patient navigator tells me to expect mid- to late December! Yay! Happy New Year to me! And to all of you ????

I haven't started the liquid pre-op diet my surgeon requires, and my supervised diet required by my insurance has been more of my NUT assigning me homework...like cutting out carbs or eliminating soda from my diet, in preparation for the changes coming for me post op. So far, I've had pretty good results making these gradual changes. How about for you, cookies_queen?

im not on a restricted diet yet. I'm trying to cut carbs and stop drinking while I eat. I can't lose more than 20 lbs or my bmi won't be high enough. I'm looking forward to the pre op diet cause that will mean surgery is soon!

      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.
