That's plenty long enough to wait. Give them a call! You've been abundantly patient!

I have everyday! They just keep saying that "there's still waiting on finding a day to schedule" or that they don't have a date locked in :(

@mercmercn if you are starting your PreSurgery liquid diet on the 31st? Look at a Estimated Date of Surgery: June 14th. That is unless you have a Doctor who does 1 week(June7th) or 3 weeks( June 21st) now usually to 3 or 4 week are reserved for BMI >55 to shrink,⬇their fatty,liver. Now unless you're using the picture that came with new wallets you don't have That Problem.
So I would say it's a lead pipe cinch,it will be a lot less than a month away.

I'd have to have someone stand on the roof to get my head at an angle that didn't show my double-chin! Honestly, from your avatar, I wouldn't guess you weighed more than 130!

My. current pictures, well remember our geography books, on the page that says " the pride of Russia is their strong women" there is my twin standing next to a large tractor, smiling. The only way you can distinguish between the two in size is the tractor doesn't have a headscarf on! My dream is to be standing next to a shovel or pitchfork, something not so wide across! And I WILL DO IT!🙆

      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.
