Hey Yall.....I just joined this site....anyways, I am using Dr. Woodman in Memphis for Gastric Sleeve surgery. I was curious......I have BCBS of TN, and have to do the 6 month medically supervised diet (along with the other stuff mentioned in other posts). When you finished your 6 month diet how many (Physician Supevised Diet Record sheets-that woodmans office wants you to use at eac visit) did you have? 6 or 7 sheets?? My 1st appointment was 10-29-15 and today was my 6th visit......I asumed today was my last visit, but not sure about the technical aspect of what 6 months mean..........So to all you Woodman patients.....how many sheets did you have?

I have UHC and I completed the 6 month diet and only had to turn in 6 sheets

Congrats on your approval. I'm scheduled to get my labs and xray done April 5th and my EDG done on April 15th. I will have an appt with Dr Woodman the week after that and get my surgery date then. It getting closer amd I'm already getting nervous. You and I should be pretty close to getting ours done around the same time. Good luck.

      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.
