I'm in that weird limbo period between doctor's visits...still awaiting a surgery date and getting really impatient! I have my final clearance next week, and final appointment with the surgeon following that. I feel like if I don't hurry up and get this surgery I'm going to chicken out...anyone else feel that way?

Hating the waiting game...

. I agree. It seems you get all excited and then you have this lull in between. I am now going through the preop appt and having the sleeve Feb 1. In between that I think I just thought " oh well, can't do nothing about it , It does go quick. I think I focused on eating things I liked, because once the liquid diet starts, thats it. I am starting my second week of liquid diet which is fine. Don't chicken out because think if you do and then Decide to do this again, back to square one. Stay strong!

Calling them in a few minutes i have read some horror stories of people getting the surgery because the doctor say thwy will be approved only to be denied later on and stuck with a bill...so i nees to make sure that does not happen to me or we gonna have a hell of a lawsuit...having ins is NO guarantee they will pay for anything... I do medical billing so i know the routine.

      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.
