This process seems like its taking forever. Im in Maryland i have Kaiser and am required to do a 6 month program and im on my 5th month now. Im so ready....but the messed up part is the hospital im having surgery at now only has one suregeon so even when im done the program and after i get an approval how ever ling that takes. Then its a 2 to 8 week wait for surgery.......omg this is buggin me out right now! Anyone else on they 5th month or close to me. I need a friend.

Hi there, or also had to do the program. It's required by the insurance company.. I enjoyed meeting up with the nutritionists and other patients. My date is Dec 7 and I can't wait. At least I could enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner. Good luck and keep us posted. We r here to help each other. Chin up

I don't have a date yet, but am on my first month of a 3 month diet. I'm sorry you're having to wait even longer. I can't wait for this new life to begin already! I know how you feel.

Yes, when I find myself getting impatient, I have to put my mind on something else, and that's hard to do when this is a major life event.

      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.
