You can call your insurance too and tell them that you are scheduled for Tuesday. They usually are really nice about seeing about getting an approval IF they are going to approve.

Thanks! I am going to call them for sure tomorrow. I was told that I wouldn't get an answer before Monday which in my head just meant that no matter the outcome, I was going to have to follow my Pre-op instructions this weekend (which I have) since my surgery is scheduled for Tues. So, today I did a liquid diet and took magnesium citrate. Tomorrow will be just Clear liquids. I suppose the positive way to look at it is that it's all good prep work. And it will help me towards my goal.

Trying to find a good Protein shake still any ideas? Being banded thrus.

Atkins advantage. Mocha, cafe Carmel and strawberry are really good.

The Slim-Fast, Boost, Ensure, Adkins, and Muscle Milk have too many calories/grams of sugar and not enough protein! Unjury and Syntrax Nectar brands have really high amounts of Protein and little to no calories/grams of sugar! And they taste AWESOME!

Recommendations:

Syntrax Nectars in Double Stuffed Cookie (taste like a Cookies and cream shake. . .no after taste!)

unjury unflavored- you can mix into anything (drinks, Soups, parties, mac n' cheese, name it you can mix it in)

Doesn't change the taste our texture of foods. . . Way way to get in Protein without even thinking about it!

BTW- Syntrax Nectars have 25 calories, 0 sugars and 23 grams of Protein per serving!

Unjury has 90 calories, 0 fat and 21 grams of protein per serving!

Bummer. My surgery has been delayed after all. Likely I will no longer be a November bandster. Keeping my spirits up. Keeping busy by rescheduling everything. Best of luck to you all going in this week!

Just not approved in time. Likely because of the holiday and offices being closed.

Hello everyone well it's over, I am back home now resting in bed and walk around my place by far the gas is the biggest problem but walking to seems to help a lot. now that the gas its subsiding a little bit I can feel the port and it cuts now. If anybody is wondering this reminds me of doing way too many sit ups then a couple days after that. so far sipping broth and clear liquids is plenty. Take care everyone I'll try to update later today, I hope everyone is doing well.God bless.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
