Just got my surgery scheduled for December 26th! So excited I can hardly wait! Going to spend next week doing work so I won't have to worrying about taking time off and prepping for after surgery! So excited!

I have not been scheduled have to get insurance approval which should be turned in this week then scheduled. I hope it is very soon because I need a hernia repair when I have surgery and I am in so much pain from it. I will push them as fast as possible because of this problem. Monday will be my last doctor approval then off to insurance. I did talk to the coordinator and she said insurance (Humana) takes up to 30 days for approval and since I have so many comorbities I really don't see a problem with approval.

That's great! I'm a revision so I was really nervous about it being approved. Plus I have a really strict timeline with getting off work. It was either get the surgery next week (scheduling it for Monday means I'm out exactly two weeks) or wait until May to have it

Wow! That's so fast! Mine is as far out as it is to hopefully allow me to get a leave of absence from work. They're being difficult so we'll see.

      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.
