yes I met him and he was very informative! I purposely delayed my surgery date because of work. It seems so far away but then i count the days and I get super excited! I hope today with the surgeon went well!

It was weird. I could over hear them talking and they didn't have all my info and then I heard them say I had a borderline bmi for insurance approval. Once the dr came into the room I was more calm. Apparently they just didnt have all the pieces of my chart. It also helped that the surgeon is very handsome and I had to hold back the giggles. But overall it went well and this morning I got a call from CDPHP (my insurance company) that I have been approved for surgery!!!!!! Two days!!! I feel semi-guilty b/c of others who wait forever for insurance approval!

      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.
