Thanks Guys! I thought my surgeon made a mistake with me? The first few days I was not hungry at all, this past week has been tougher than the pre-op diet. Great advise, Protein shake for dinner, although I've already had two in addition to all the other "stuff" I don't want to stretch my new stomach or damage anything.

I'm 10 days post op and I'm HUNGRY! Is this normal? I'm on full liquids this week, I've had yogurt, apple sauce, soup, protein shakes throughout today...still hungry, so I scrambled an egg and mashed it to applesauce consistency and I'm somewhat satisfied but afraid that i may mess something up? Help?

Thanks a lot for the advise, I will keep that in mind. I took the Bariatric Advantage Protein shake, it actually tastes pretty good and I was not hungry at all.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I really appreciate them, the only person I've told is my mom and although she's been wonderful, it's nice to correspond with others who have or a going through similar changes.

It's a beautiful Sunday and I am drinking a lot of water and vitamin water!! Getting prepared mentally, physically for a new chapter in my life! I'm scheduled for Surgery @ 10:15 am tomorrow. Every time I think about it I get really nervous because I don't really know what to expect...how much weight I'm going to loose? will I be sick afterwards? Will I keep it off? How I will look & feel after weight loss? I'm 5'3" tall 285 lbs! Ready to feel & look better.

I started the "process" in April and I was just approved by my insurance on Friday. I had to visits my PCP once a month for six months. I also had to have different tests, psych clearance, EKG...

I was just approved for surgery on Friday and I have an appointment on Tues. guess I'll find out my surgery date then. I'm so excited! I started this process in April! I was online doing some research and found this awesome app! Reading some of these posts has been so informative. * I have a big family and alot of friends; But, I haven't told anybody that I'm having the surgery. Not sure if I will tell anybody, has anyone else done this?
