That's great news for you to have certainty on the date. You're up for surgery the day before me, so I'll be looking forward to your updates!

Hopefully they make sense since I'm sure I'll be medicated! [emoji13]

Hi Jaz!

I’m in the process too! My insurance isn’t as strict, and there are only a few more classes, lose a couple more pounds, and a psych clearance I need to finish before I get a surgery date. I’m hoping for an April/May surgery date. Good luck on your journey!

I just have two more weigh-ins for the supervised diet, the psych eval, an upper GI study and the recommendation from my doctor. I am not scared of surgery except wondering if I can handle so much less food. ive lost 20 lbs so far during my supervised diet. They said it takes a while to be approved and get into surgery so probably May.

I Jus started the process also last month I got the ref to go to be seminar, I went last Thursday and they didn't have any consultation appt until the end of April almost may, which was insane . So I'm going to a different program they have a seminar tomorrow and your consult is within that week. They are also a multidisciplinary program which is great bcus my insurance ghi emblem required a 6 month program or 3 month program with a multidisciplinary. So I guess I will see what happens

      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.
