Thanks brown. I am so happy for you and I will keep you posted. Keep me posted as well. I know your surgery date is approaching. Want to know how you are doing. How is your liquid diet going? I haven't even gotten a date yet but my doc put me on a liquid diet to lose these 19 lbs. It was 40 total but so far lost 21 since I had my initial consult. Whew I am so nervous. The wait is gonna kill me. Lol

Hey brown. Yes these past 2 days all I have done is take in liquids, sleep, and run to the bathroom. The first day my head throbbed so much because I was hungry. Today it has gotten much better. Hopefully by Wednesday I won't recognize any longer that I haven't ate anything and I would have more energy. How long did it take for your insurance approval If you don't mind me asking? I think waiting for approval would kill me before the liquid diet will lol.

I'm still waiting Smh next nutrition appt is 6/7. This insurance thing with the "center of excellence" set me back. I could've had a date by now. Smh I'm trying not to get frustrated. I've lost a couple more lbs. Everything else is good.

Awwwww well I hope you get a date soon. The wait is terrible. Praying for you dawnie. I know it will happen soon. The diet gets easier as the days go by but I think I would be ecstatic whenever the insurance company let's my doctors know something. Or I call them everyday to get an answer. Lol

      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.
