I'm crossing my fingers real hard for July 11th as my surgery date. When I was at my first appointment, the scheduler threw that date out as my probable date, so I'm clinging to it. She said the surgeon only does surgery once a month at the hospital that I'm required to go to. So if it isn't July 11th, then I'm out to August which would be a bummer. I also have to schedule it around my coworker's vacation times because we aren't allowed to have 2 people off at the same time. And right now nobody has that time off in July. I can only hope everything works out with scheduling.

My last weigh-in and my upper endoscopy are scheduled for May 19 and 20th.

That's great. I have one more weigh in May 2 and a follow up appt with my pulmonary Dr on may 12. I am hoping the insurance gets the paperwork and approves is it by end of May soni can do my two week liquid diet by beginning of June and have surgery by mid to late June. I would live to be on at least a puréed diet by mid July for my birthday to feel a little normal on that day dinner wise.

I come back with something that I'm hoping is going to be good news! I had my appointment with my surgeon and told him that the insurance company didn't have a specified number of appointments needed for weight verification. He said that as long as I get the approval letter from my PCP, he will have the paperwork submitted to the insurance company after my next appointment, on May 25th. If I get approved, I would be looking at a surgery date between the end of June to the Beginning of July!!! Keep your fingers, toes, and legs crossed for me! ????

      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.
