Wow Morkie, congrats not only on getting approval but on sticking to it and finally getting your approval. Its so fantastic that they didnt wear you down and get you to change your mind...Insurance can be such a pain!

I find myself doing the same thing. I know I'm doing it, and I know I shouldn't, but do it anyway. I'd really like to go into my next appointment (for the pre-op diet info on the 25th) not weighing more than I did at the band class they made us take. It's not going to happen at this rate!

:biggrin:

Hi all! I saw my doctor today and surgery is scheduled for Oct 6th 9:30AM. I don't have insurance approval yet but the doctor said not to worry...approval is almost guaranteed!

I am so ready to join the "October bandsters"!!! :biggrin:

I tried one that wasn't bad I believe the name is Worldwide Protein (I keep it at school so I would have to double check it) the flavor is Caramel chocolate Peanut. It says to mix it with Water but I use skim milk. I also have the French vanilla but haven't tried it yet, the cals, carbs, and fat aren't bad (way under what my nutritionist gave me) and it has 18 grams of Protein in a serving. I got it at Vitamin World and the container wasn't too big so you haven't committed to a huge tub of it. I'll try the French vanilla tomorrow. It cracks my students up when I rev up the blender and they know it's time for my breakfast!!! :thumbdown:

Slim-in-Tn!

I have decided to start a fatty liver diet next week. I too feel the same way - but I guess we better get used to it! LOL! Although - I know we will feel much more full once the band is on. I actually ended up buying the Isopure Protein powder. The flavor is chocolate and to be honest - it was really delicious! I was very happy with it!

Good luck to all the October bandsters. I am hopefull for an October date. I met with my surgeon, dietition and financial agent yesterday. I have one last appointment with my MD tomorrow and appointment with the psychitrist on Friday morning. Then the waiting to hear back from the insurance begins. I hope I will have my surgery in late October. Keep your fingers crossed:thumbup:

      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.
