I want to encourage anyone who may be anxious or nervous or think that they will not get approved because I was all of those things .I did stay in prayer and I know whatever God has for me will be. Being approved ..were my prayers being answered and one of the best days of my life. I just wanted to scream and cry and shout. Now that my life will be forever changed I know that I will have to do my part to keep this new life style.

How soon after your last visit with the nutritionist or after the final tests did it take for you to be approved ? I have 2 more visits with the nutritionist then the final tests I'm nervous and anxious

it took 3 days to get approval..

After getting my approval on 11 11, the real nerves start lol surgery 12 14 15.

????????????????????????????????

      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.
