Approved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I received my approval letter last night. Less than 25 days from seminar to approval. I am excited. I start the dreaded liver shrinking diet on 9/9 but I have been told my doctor does allow some food. They would have done surgery 15 days from now but I just couldn't get everything in order that quick so it will be the 29th. Looking forward to my new life.

YAY!!! Goodluck with everything. I was approved last week, it only took 2 days to get my approval back, I was expecting a couple weeks so I was very excited to hear it. My surgery is October 6th..........My doctor only told me that I had to do a low carb diet of 65grams or less. Those were my only instructions. He is listed with the center of excellence so I am not going to question this but I'm used to hearing liquid only.

Mine is about the same, low calorie (800) low carb for 14-days, but I think I will try to do just liquids the last couple of days. I'm so excited!!! :lol:

      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.
