My date is 8/8 they wanted to do 7/18 but I'll be in the process of moving at the end of the month so I thought it would be better to wait til august.

I'm sorry did you mention who your insurance is? I tried to look back but I might have missed it. I too thought it would be a battle but I got approval the first time around. I thought it would be a battle because my band took two appeals. I'm below 40 (both times) without significant comorbidities... but it went through so fast I am still in shock.

I'm hoping yours does too!

Not yet. My doctor said not to stock up on stuff too much since tastes change so much after surgery. I don't really recall that happening after band surgery. I've been buying sample size Protein whenever I see it at the store to try it.

Plus I'm getting ready to move so I'd rather not buy stuff just to move it.

What are you stocking up on?

Tastes definitely change after being sleeved...I didn't think it was true until it happened, lol. I also realized that last time I stocked up on too many things and I never used or had a desire to consume... I was so excited that I had Jello and different broths/stocks to last me through an apocalypse!

      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.
