@Chrisb428 I have actually been struggling to be honest. I have already gone through my 6 month pre req for insurance and was denied back in February due to the wording my family doctor used. My surgeon even talked with insurance and tried to fix it and I had to do it again. I feel like I was prepared and two days before surgery I was denied. So I am struggling to mentally get there this time. I feel like I did everything right the last time and it didn't happen so I have just been putting it off and putting it off.

I started documenting my journey on YouTube and trying to go back and watch a few that I used to just to get myself back in the mindset of needing to get things taken care of. I have started to come around but still haven't bought anything really. August will be a busy month I am sure but fingers crossed I make it through to the losers bench.

I am not required to do the scope or see the anesthesiologist just due to the fact I don't have any reflux nor had any surgeries on my stomach. So that is big plus.

@AshMarie794 Im sorry that happened, it would SUCK! I can understand why it would be hard to get prepared/excited this time. Just try and be positive. It has to happen this time because i need someone to compare notes, and complain to who will be at the same place in the journey i am! I would love to see your YouTube videos. I wish i was brave enough to do something like that, but im too self conscious. I hope you dont mind that i followed you.

      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.
