Since January when I started this process I have a been great about managing my food tracking and killing these weigh ins. Since my last appointment I have gained almost 3 lbs from stress eating...I call Aetna everyday and it does not help that every one on here that was waiting with me has been approved. I hope I get the answer soon on day 8 of the wait. I cant take my mind off of it....

I know! waiting is the worst! Mine was only a couple of days but that was still too long as far as I was concerned......I would have gone nuts and probably cussed out a few people if mine had taken 8 days or longer. :angry:

Hang in there!!!

Waiting sucks.....but get that "stress eating" under control now.....or you'll be doing the same thing later on for whatever reason presents itself on any given day.

There is no such thing as comfort food.

Go walk some laps around the neighborhood when you are stressed.....or do some situps or pushups..........

Thank you guys but it's a process I've been in great control up until the last two weeks but my eating habits aren't going to fix themselves overnight

I think a lot of The Hunger is coming from my increased amount of activity because exercise and definitely makes me hungry more often the only difference between now and before I submit to insurance is I'm choosing Foods that are low in Protein and high in carbs or sugar but I'm in the gym Faithfully and I'm going to keep calling Aetna everyday

Hang in there. You have made it this far. Try not to let the nerves and anxiety of the wait take you off course! It is a process and you should be proud of yourself.

      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.
