Hey csmart,

Welcome, I had my surgery in Wednesday. How are you feeling? This is a great site to get a lot of support as I've discovered over the last month.

Hi Katie,

I can't believe how much better I am feeling definitiely on the road to recovery. How are you feeling?

I feel really well. Surgery was Wednesday at 8:30am, back at hotel about 2pm. And then yesterday at 11:30 flew back home (a little over 1 hour flight) , so all things considered I can't believe how good I feel. A little tired but not too sore.

Didn't really know what to expect from following the site for the past month, (some do really well and some not quite as well) but pleasantly surprised. I'm on a week of full liquids, what about you?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
