Lucky I have a full 2 week liquid.

Just thought of this, is your procedure inpatient or outpatient?

The issue is my insurance covers with no comorbidities if your BMI is over 40 I'm exactly at 41 right now and apparently at my surgeon's office if you drop too much weight you can be cancelled on the day of

Do you have any comorbidities? And what insurance do you have ? Mine is 41 too . They submitted my paperwork last Wednesday evening and I'm just waiting in so nervous I don't want to get denied

I think I'm just worrying because my weight would fluctuate for the six months it would go down then it went up once then back down but my surgeon said I shouldn't really worry

Yeah well at this point I'm kind of used to it because since January I've been having to lose a little but not too much in order to be approved in the first place. So to ensure that I don't drop below 41 I'm only doing liquids for 2 days

      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.
