Finally!! Just heard from insurance co. that it is approved!! This is 3rd surgeon so it has been a process. Dr. office just called & we have scheduled pre-surgery apt for 10/17 & probably scheduling surgery for 11/8 or 11/9. Will know for sure after pre-surgery apt.

I've been through the run around w/ 2nd surgeon. So glad I found this new surgeon & they seem to have everything organized and running their office like it should be.

I'm so excited!!

I was sleeved three years ago, Nov. 18. I loved it being cold, and sipping Soups, broth. I will never forget our first meal, homemade chili we sipped on Christmas Day. By the time you have things under control it will be Spring, and there will be a New You!

You will be so happy you won't care about the food. The smells might get you but a Protein Shake will satisfy you.

I got my surgery date today-I'm having revision from LapBand to VSG on October 18th.

I'm thinking that by Thanksgiving, I'll be able to eat at least a little bit:)

      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.
