I saw a nut once, and it was in the very beginning. If she went over the post diet i dont remember at all. I know we went over pre-op. I was given a pack of papers that say liquids for post op, but that isnt being ver specific. Its a center of excellency so.. Im a little confused. Maybe I skipped some thing... oh well tomorrow is monday. These last few days its not like I have even felt up to caring about what Im eating, not that im actually eating since its all liquids. Ill make sure i know fully what to do from tomorrow on.

See I was given the Protein shake while in hospital. But typically it should just be liquids right now? I have an appointment monday so I will talk to them then just wondering for the mean time.

Ok I have no idea what I am suppose to be eating right now. I had surgery on Monday the 24th. I figured they would explain in the hospital but they really didnt.. just gave me boost and ice chips and that was it. How much am i suppose to be eating and of what? Am i only suppose to be drinking from the Protein shakes? What about Peanut Butter, or oatmeal, or yogurt, Soup? So confused.

Thanks! I saw my pcm end of May for referral to surgeon and have tentative surgery date July 29th. Tricare has been awesome no trouble with them at all. Once my surgeons office submitted it to them it took 4 days to approve and most of those days were over the holiday weekend.

I feel the same way! I think a lot has to do with how many posts I see in different places on people have complications or are really regretful of doing it. Each time I read one It makes me second guess my decision. I think I need to stop reading these type of posts lol.

Thanks everyone! Just so if anyone needs the info or does a search I have Tricare Prime south and did not do any supervised diet. I simply sent in old receipts from Weight watchers and nutrisystem and my coordinator pulled my records to show that I have been overweight for a long time. I just barley had a bmi of 40, and that was with me slouching a bit. I am pre-diabetic and borderline high cholesterol and have PCOS.

Got my Approval today! Now all I have to do is get my date and do an scope and 2wk liquid diet.

Well they submitted it to insurance so now I just wait to see if it gets approved... so instead of feeling impatient im feeling worried and anxious lol. Oh bother! Super nervous about getting approved since I "technically" dont have supervised visits, but I do lol

I have already talked to my surgeons office and asked about how long it will take once I am on the book and luckily its within a month of insurance approval. I just like to feel im moving forward. And not knowing if ill be approved is super stressful so once I know I can plan accordingly.

I hope so! lol They say patience is a virtue and I was just not born with an ounce of it. Once I get an idea in my head I obsess. Not one of my better qualities hehe. I have tricare prime south and no where does it say a specific amount of time like 3m or 6m needed but It does say that they want history of doing a supervised diet. I don't have any specific history of getting weighed by the doctor but did give my coordinator months of weight watcher receipts and nutrisystem. Plus when I was pregnant I had to be on a low carb diet so we could manage my gestational diabetes with just food. I know she's going to include that info since They did technically weigh me each time and I was technically on a diet lol. Hope it all works out makes me nervous because if they don't approve it then i have to do a few more months of a diet with seeing my pcm. I really want to get the surgery done before Sep. so keeping everything crossed. I much rather her submit it and see what they come back with then wasting time. lol

I am dying over here waiting for my coordinator to get things sent to my insurance. It has been like 2 weeks since I did all my preop stuff. Know shes trying to make my case and not the only person she has to do this with but atleast when i had preop stuff i felt i was moving i. the right direction not just at a stand still

Good points! It is just hard to make a lifelong decision with so many unknowns. I do want this. I gained all my weight trying to get pregnant when my hormones went all out of whack with PCOS. I am now at the point I just cant take it and have tried everything. So y even if things are a little scary you all are right most people would do it again so im going for it.

I havent had surgery yet, but Panera makes an amazing chicken salad! You could eat it with out the bread.

You too! Maybe we will both have Surgery around the same time! We can be surgery buddies lol!

I feel the same way! In all my spare time im on here. I feel obsessed too. I have done ally preop just waiting for them to submit it to my insurance. Were going to try using proof of weight watchers and nutrisystem to help it out. So nervous and getting on here usually helps me feel as im still in the right direction
