Hey there all you happy people, so after a week of phone tag my doctors office finally got all my lab results to my surgeons office. I called my surgeons office to schedule for the pre-op appointment for get the ball rolling to get a surgery date and they told me that the surgeon needed to review the labs before we can go forward with anything. I asked the receptionist if everything looked ok and she said that she couldn't discuss it and that if the surgeon wants to proceed that it would be up to them. So here I sit with phone in hand waiting.

To my knowledge my labs should be good my nerves are just racked.

The surgeon had my pcp do the labs then send the results to the surgeons office, my next pcp appointment in towards the end of October, my health insurance changes on the new year so I must have surgery before my insurance changes because the new insurance will not cover it. The new insurance will however cover the appointments after wards. My current insurance has already verbally told me that they will approve it, we are waiting on the surgeon to decide if he wants to do it.

      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.
