I'm even more excited now, my paperwork was sent to insurance on the 15th. I called today to check in and got GREAT news. She said "Well, everything looks good they're just waiting on one more thing" Uh-oh, I thought something hadn't been received but they are actually just waiting for verification that the hospital was in network. Well, I know it is because our insurance comes through that hospital...my hubby is an MD AT Alegent!!!!! I think this means approval will be final on Monday or Tuesday!!! YIPEE!!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!! They just penciled me in for surgery on the 12th of March! Holy cow, how fast is that?? I was hoping for late March/early April. They did say that after my appointment at the beginning of March and depending upon the surgeons schedule for that week they may hve to move it back to the 19th which would still be amazing. I'm just delighted!!!!!!

      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.
