Good morning

Can anyone tell me what happen after I go to my last nutrition visit...

Is that's the day people normally get there instruction about their pre op diet?

Will I be seen by the surgeon in order to get information about diet?

Do people normally get their surgery date from their surgeon? Before or after they have been approved ??

The reason why I am asking... I have completed everything off the check list ...I have my last nutrition visit with the nutritionist on the 5th...

@@donham83 I'm also havibg my Gastric bypass on the 5th!! I can't believe its 2 days away :-D

I'm pretty nervous :o

I don't think so much about the surgery itself. I think its more pf the healing and the unknown after that worries me. keep in touch on your healing ;-)

@D'Sleeved

I had to schedule a reassessment with the surgeon for the paperwork to get sent to the insurance company after the last dietitian appointment. I'm in Texas and each state, let alone insurance company and surgeon's office, functions differently. I'd call the office receptionist/office manager and ask what their policy is once you feel as if you've fulfilled all requirements.

I had contacted Western bariatric clinical receptionist; last week to make sure they had received all of my documents that were required... From there todo list. I am ready to move on to the next phase.

      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.
