Mine is 2 weeks, liquids only for the last 48 hours.

I want to say something. I'm not saying this because it was a diet either. So in my spiritual walk with God there are times when I fast. I fasted for a week. It was a fast that consisted of No food until after 4pm . No meats, No Sweets, No Soda, No Alcohol, No Fried Foods. Even though it was Not a diet I felt amazing. Yes I was hungry at times but then I sipped on Water. While doing this I was gaining strength to be able to do this liquid diet and let his life style change. Once the fast ended I wanted some grilled chicken and turkey burgers . Let me say this my stomach is extremely bloated. I feel like crap right now I was nauseous . It just doesn't feel right. I believe we all can do what we set our minds too. I know believe that I can do this. I probably will not have surgery until the end of Dec but I am going to cut out friend foods the way I use to eat them. And just do chicken and fish. I have a pack of country style ribs in the freezer I will cook and get rid of but after that I must change. I felt lighter and more energized with out eating all that junk everyday. Oh and I lost 12 pounds . Amazing. Glory to God.

Was told they will schedule surgery like 2-3wks after approval! So guess that puts me in the Oct BP losers bench!!

That's great. Did they ever tell you why you got denied ?

Just got off the phone with my hospital, they called to do my pre-registration.

She said everything is all approved through insurance and I’m good to go! I was a bit worried about that as I have heard Cigna can sometimes be troublesome, I've seen folks here really struggle with their own insurances, and I hadn't heard anything from them yet.

In the home stretch of my pre-op diet, 5 and a half days to surgery. Haven't gone over my calorie or carb goal a single time.

So ready. Surgery is 10/27 and can't come fast enough.

I have a stock of Protein shakes set by for the preop phase, and just put together a recumbent exercise bike for daily exercise, as my spine and knee issues make walking difficult.

Having mine in SoCal. You?

I'm jst starting a YouTube chnnl & I'm going to take videos as much as I can throughout the process....one: for something to look back on for motivation when I hit "stalls" & two: so others who have many questions can at least see what I'm going through...

I put up a "test video" last night...jst because...but I am going to start documenting my PreOp visits, shopping for things I'll need postop, my actual surgery date (film as much as I can in the hospital), post op (pain & water/food/vitamin intake) etc....

If anyone wants to watch or follow: look for ..."BariatricGirl 4life" under R&Y intro (I think)... I also have a FB page under the same name if anyone wants to add or follow!!!

more to come!!

Just 5 short weeks ago, October 5th seemed like an eternity away. Now I staring down the last 4 days of my old life and getting ready to welcome the new. It's been a rough 3 weeks of pre-op diet. I have to say thank you to my family and to the fellow Bariatric pals on here for helping me through. It's been interesting to see how different the pre-op requirements are around the country.

This weekend I'm going to get my hospital bag ready, go grocery shopping for the family and make sure everything is in order, so I don't have to worry about anything but getting healthy.

We have several other pals with surgeries this week...what are you doing to get ready? How are you feeling?

I'm not til Oct 26 , but I think I'll pretty much be doing what your doing and that's making sure everything is good and ready , I really don't want my mother in law, doing much of anything

My surgery is October 6th as well! Pre op diet started September 22nd. 4 shakes daily and a meal with 4oz lean meat, 1 cup cooked veggies (low carb), 2 cups raw veggies (low carb). Day before surgery 5 shakes.

I hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

The hospital I'm going thru I don't think I've heard them say anything about small meals meats or veggies , that would be nice to have lol should start mine around Oct 10th or 12th good luck and have a great healthy speedy recovery.

That's great. Did they ever tell you why you got denied ?

They said all my issues could be controlled with meds?! The bariatric surgeon basically told me that this is their common response in order not to try to pay for it.... but I appealed it ...and they had 30 days to get back to me...

And now I got approved ...yaaaay!! ????

My former insurance medical group kept telling me that I had to find a surgeon who had privileges at the hospital to which I'm assigned.

That doesn't do bariatric surgeries.

I had to change insurance to find one that would listen.
