I'm working on nervous energy right now. I look forward to your check-ins. Pre-op diet isn't completely liquid. I can have lean protein...and vegetables for dinner.

Surgery Monday at 9:00am.

So today the doctors office called saying I wasn't approved yet!! I'm like seriously!! They submitted it on the 29th October with no response... I called and talked to insurance representative. They put it in as priority and said I should know something this afternoon or Monday morning. Doctors office cancelled me on Monday. It wasn't until 4:55 I called to ask my doctors nurse a question when I was informed that insurance was on the phone with the approval. It's been a stressful day. Very angry at the insurance coordinator. This could have been avoided. I feel like I did all the work to make sure I kept my surgery date on Monday. I already had my time off from work approved and surgery is back on for Monday at 9:00 ????????

      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.
