I got the call today and mine is scheduled for August 11th - assuming Cigna insurance approves. Anyone else have Cigna and know how long it took to get your approval?

1 week semi liquid (Protein shakes twice a day, lean protein/veggie dinner) pre-op diet.

8/3 for me I’m having gastric bypass! It’s to fix my hernia after gastric sleeve 3 years ago. My surgeon put me out for 6 weeks to recover

YoouniqueNY I only have a liquid diet for the day before. I was sleeved 3 years ago and they will fix my hernia and do a gastric bypass on 8/3. I drink a Protein Shake everyday so as soon as I can I will continue that it’s delicious and filling

My liquid diet is for 2 weeks before. I bought a bunch of the Atkins Advantage shakes. They're the best tasting ready to drink shakes I've found so far. I'm so excited for you. That's so soon!

@YouniqueNY I'll be using the PremierProtein - I seem to like them the best. Found a new flavor (Apple Cinnamon) last week that is fantastic for Breakfast. On the sweeter side, so I tend to drink it slower. Also experimenting with some of the flavored waters. A good friend of mine said to make sure I also get some broth as the sweet drinks will start getting old after a couple of days.

Congrats on your surgery date and birthday! Way to start off a "new year" with a "new you"!

A friend of mine gifted me some Unjury broth Protein Powder. I'm nervous to try it because I'm such a picky person when it comes to taste. But I've definitely been thinking about how sweet everything is and I can imagine its going to be a lot.

Does your diet allow anything like vegetables or oatmeal? My surgeon is very strict and the only wiggle room is for no sugar Jello.

Unjury broth remains one of my favorites, and I ordered a bunch for my second surgery. I'm sensitive to fake sweeteners (more so after my VSG) and the savory Proteins are free of it!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
