Waiting for approval... stressed



Recommended Posts

Update - Dr office sent me an email - im approved. I am supposed to start 2 week diet on Friday. My cava filter placement is scheduled for Thursday the 10th and my surgery is scheduled for Friday the 18th. The only thing I'm missing? Approval from my insurance. My doctors office finally sent it over to my insurance. Here's to hoping for a quick approval. Fingers crossed.

Good Luck! I have been on the phone with insurance and my doctors office so much lately! I was told the sleep study was faxed over yesterday morning. This was supposed to have been done on the 18th but it was not sent. So I hope you and I get an answer this week. Keep in touch and let me know darling. @@baileyj908

      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.
