Recommended Posts

Yeah, I had to have approval first before I got a date

We set a date and scheduled because having the tentative one gave me a date to tell docs/etc when I got the testing and stuff done. I know that if I don't have it Aug 1, it will be Aug 15. I'm grateful to know ahead of time. They also did some pre-qualifying stuff before I ever went in for the first appointment with the surgeon. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly when it comes time for my insurance to go through. My last appt is early July.

I had my 4th diet check up today. I'm down 20 pounds, and my doctor confirmed that June (already scheduled!!) will be the last one and then they will immediately submit, "So surgery in July!" Eeeeep that's so SOON!!!

Mine will be in July too! Was set for 7/10, but they called the other day. Moving it to either Thursday, 7/6 or Thursday, 7/13. Our WLS center here can do earlier, but I needed to book out to Mel's sure I have coverage at work.

Glad there are already others in July!

Oh, I'm from Salem OR.

My surgery date is July 17. It was a process to get to this point. I am happy but also shocked that I set for surgery. I am nervous 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.
