Same to you! I am in Wichita Falls, TX which is about 2 hours west of Dallas. Where are you located? Are you thinking that your date will be at the beginning of November?

I found out today, 10/24, I am APPROVED !!!! Paper work has to hit the Dr. office before they will actually schedule, but I'm hoping for Nov. 20 or Dec. 11. Sooner the better I say. I'm worried I will really miss the food, especially for those two weeks pre opt. I go for my Nutrition 4 hour class on Monday night. At least I'll know more after that. Right now, I seem to want to eat everything I think I won't have later. Not a good pre opt plan.

Good luck to ya'll too. Let's "band" together.

      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.
