I'm planning for either December or January! I have just one more requirement to do around the NUT appointment and then we can submit. I am leaning towards January due to financial concerns but we'll see ... I can't wait!

I'm hoping for late Nov. or early Dec. I still have 2 more visits before they submit me for approval.

I'm hoping for December too, I work in the school system and I'm hoping that for Christmas break as extra time for healing before going back to work (I'm a lunch lady and it is physical! A lot of heavy lifting, pulling & tugging and on the go walking in the door)

I'm a teacher, so that was my plan too - I'm still really nervous having to take the week before break off for the actual surgery, but oh well. I want the two weeks - it's not worth it for us to rush back and have complications, right??

I agree. I'm really hoping for a 4 wk recovery and I don't even have a surgery date yet. My last test is coming up next week I'm having a stress test and I go back and see the cardiologist sept 22nd to get my cardio clearance letter and I'm thinking my paperwork will be submitted to the insurance the first of October. (I started my journey in March and I am so ready already!)

      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.
