As my surgery date approached, and I hate surgery, I just kept telling myself this had to be done just like my gallbladder had to come out, and it put me more at ease. Try to tell yourself you really have no choice in the matter, it just needs to be done, for your health of course. The preop for me was 2-3 shakes a day and 1 low carb meal so it was not that bad, good luck. I am now 7 months post sleeve and down 84lbs.

That's my surgery date I hope if insurance stop tripping. My insurance company is Cigna and the JUST sent me a letter stating that my insurance won't cover it because their medical Dr looked over my medical information and it's not a medical problem in my case so I THINK I'm denied the coverage. I'm pissed. However my bariatric team says that my insurance cleared it. That was 11 am today. Part me wants to tear this letter up and act like I didn't receive it.

      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.
