I’m waiting for the yay or nay from my insurance Company and if so, I’m hoping to have a date soon. Either February or March. We’ll see! Would like to keep tabs with you [emoji4][emoji4]

Hi linita, I'm waiting for call-back,or letter from my surgeon's office. Tenatively early-mid March RnY. Lets be friends, and you can ask me anything also. I'm in Central Ohio, 50 miles from Columbus where my surgeon and hospital, Mount Carmel, are located.

Sad story, check out my post Change Your Hospital, but I will not let this thwart me from my goal. Basically i got kicked to the curb by Mount Carmel, their 3 surgeons unexpectedly decided to not perform my surgery. The excuse I was given I do not accept. I have reapplied, 3 different bariatric programs, 1) a seminar on March 9th 2 )a seminar on March,10th 3) an appointment with an intake nurse April,10th . Of the 3 at this point I am leaning towards program #1 but will hear them all out and make a rational informed decision. My paperwork will all be transferred to the program of my choice, I did make sure of that. I will land upright, I will have my surgery and I will make those sons of Seabiscuit the horse eat their words. Under this meek mild Puddycat lies the heart of a lithe strong puma , golden and sleek. I will roar in victory when my day comes!!

      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.
