So a year ago I completed the 6-month process for my insurance to get weight loss surgery. We were getting ready to schedule the date and I chickened out Plus on top of that a lot of stuff happened I lost my grandpa and my sister within 2 days of each other. I called today to see what I needed to get back on plan for surgery, because this time I'm so beyond ready. They said I would have to repeat the 6 month process again which I'm ok with. That helps me to get some weight off before surgery so the surgery is saver. I'm so excited for this journey but terrified of there being complications.

Thank you so much. I'm actually really glad that I'm doing the six months again. Now I'm going to be extra informed on the whole process and what to expect and also it will help me lose some weight before surgery. I know that I have a enlarged liver and I know that they like it to be smaller before surgery. So it gives me the time to hopefully get my liver happy and healthy LOL

      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.
