I am two days away from surgery - have not lost much on the pre op liquid diet - probably just flooded haha

Our insurance just changed at the beginning of the year , and so that has thrown a wrench in everything - and we are still waiting on an pre auth -

I feel like everything is hurry up and wait - and I may have tortured myself for no good reason if they deny surgery

I have my post op diet box all set up - cook books ready - chopper on hand - I have an awesome support system - they truly are the only reason I have not imploded by now -

This is me just trying to find light at the end of the tunnel and a pattern in the chaos

That same exact thing happened to me before my sleeve surgery. I still got approved easily but our deductible went up.

hang in there. It will all work out.

Good Luck! I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me in 2005... I finally did it on my own last year.. I hope it didnt change too much. In my case i put it on hold for work purposes and then in 2005 they didnt cover it at all anymore.. I was fuming but tis ok. I am determined and it took a long time but finally got it done and do not regret it at all.

      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.
