I am so glad to hear that you're finally approved, that's great news. I see the surgeon on Monday and should receive my surgery date then, I am also so excited, this has been a long journey for me. Maybe we can go thru our journey together, keep in touch. Congrats again!!

I just set up my appointment for my pre-op visit on Wednesday. They told me I'd get my diet and surgery date then. I actually started SlimFast, cut out sodas, and went low fat-high Protein almost 2 weeks ago. This weekend I cheated a little. Had IHop and 3 Dr. Peppers yesterday, but this morning I'm back on track. I can already tell that it's working, my pants are fitting a little looser already!

So I'm hoping to get my surgery date soon, since I can tell them I already put myself on the pre-op diet. My ideal date is March 7th.

Less than 2 weeks! But we'll see, they may have other ideas.

      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.
