Just starting out. I had my seminar on May 27th my physc on June 16th & my surgical consult on the 17th. They said now all I have to do is gather 5 yrs of documented weight, but I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. It can't be this easy...... can it? Nuu Lyph:redface:

From what I have seen it all depends on the doc you are seeing and the insurance that you have. With my insurance and my doc you only need to have a nutrition/fitness/psych eval consult and then you see the doc for a physical and then you see the doc again to schedule your surgery date. Others I've read sometimes have to do a 6 month doc supervised diet or have to show previous years of documented weight loss attempts. Maybe you lucked out and have a easy insurance/doc. Good luck to you on your journey. Like you I'm pre banded. Can't wait to be post op.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Nuu!!! I see my surgeon next week, and I hope (HOPE) that I get an August band date. Now, that's pretty high expectations, but I'm optimistic. :tt1:

      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.
