Hi my name is Angie i have my lap-band surgery scheduled 4 july 14th but im still waiting on hip 2 approve it im going crazy on this liquid diet and not knowing i scared im doing all this 4 and if the insurance denies me i dont know what im gonna do!! help!! any advice??????::wink2:

I am also scheduled for the 14th as well. The liquid diet is very had. I am having a terrible day today on just the liquids...

yeah some days r harder then others

i found that going for a walk helps me i dont really watch tv cause all i c is food comercials lol i browse the internet alot also just keeping my mind busy

it would be easier if i knew if i was approved but not knowing is really killing me

My surgery is scheduled for July 16th and the liquid diet is not too bad. I have an Atkins high protein shake in the morning, broth for lunch, a Special K Protien water for a snack, jello, an Isopure drink before dinner, strained soup for dinner, and for dessert I have another jello. Surprisingly I am quite satisfied. I got my tonsils out 2 weeks ago and I have been on a semi-liquid diet since then so maybe that has helped me. My insurance approved me a few weeks ago. I did everything I was told to (6 month diet, dietician, etc) and they said that they would pay. My pre-op is tomorrow and I am excited!!!
