Hi everyone, I've been booked in on 4 July. I'm in Sydney Australia. You poor patients in the USA have to jump through SO many hoops! Happy to chat and thanks for creating the topic :)

Good luck! I self-payed, so not dealing with insurance has been a blessing...well, other than writing that check. That hurt.

Hi my last weigh in will be June 29th. They will send over all the insurance papers after my 5th visit June 1st. this way the insurance company will already have reviewed everything when they receive my last weigh in. My tentative surg. date will be July 14th. I'm getting both excited and nervous.

I will have the Facebook switched from secret to closed for a few hours today for anyone who wants to join. I am going to switch it back to secret after that to respect the privacy of the members so the link will only work a little while.

Hey All, I have my last dietician appointment this Thursday. Then they will submit to insurance, so it looks like I will have a June/July date.

      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.
