Hello I'm signing consent on Tuesday and I'll get my surgery date there too, but did you signed consent before getting approve from insurance? Do you get weight when you go sign consent? And does it matter if you gained 2 pounds ?

I signed my consent at the surgeons office this past Tuesday, and my surgery is not till November 6th. Dr did weight me as he does at every visit. I already had the date prior to signing @scarlep.

Good luck!

I signed consent when I met the Dr the first time (that was also visit 1 out if 6 for my weight management)

I finished my 6 months req visits but I was wondering if it matters that I gained like 2 pounds when I go sign consent

I don't think it will, but every surgeon is different.

I'm on Day 5 of the pre-op liquid diet. Seems the worst in regards to stomach aches and headaches have passed.

Just stay focused on the goals and what food you're eating and you'll do fine. I've had my ups and down weeks too.

Good luck!

      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.
