Well I just got off the phone w/Penni & she still has her sence of humor intact!!!LOL SHe is home & her DH is taking great care of her. Her upper GI went well after surgery but was not without discomfort. She said she'd be back on the boards in a day or two & that she looks forward to sleeping in her own bed tonight. She said she is also losing a few pounds b/c she is only on liquids & than mushies over the next week or so while she heals. She sends love to all.

HEAL UP FAST & TAKE THINGS SLOW PENNI WE LOVE YOU GIRLIE!!!!!!

You know the thing about this board is it sure is addictive. I was going to not post till tomorrow but I was drawn in my drug induced state to come and post. LOL!!

I love Dr. Billy. I think someone on her was curious if he was married. I gather he isn't but is divorced. He has two kids for sure. This puts him in a whole new light for me. LOL!!!

I will post details of the surgery and what lead me to have it so fast in a day or two. I have to gather my thoughts. It all seems like a blur now.

I am home and doing really well. I got my pain meds filled (dear sweet John did that for me).

I think I have lost 10 lbs in poop so far. LOL!!!

Billy used one of my old scars from my tubal years ago. He made a point of using my old scars instead of making new ones. He also kept the band. I guess he is going to send it to Inamed for all the good it will do. At least he kept it though.

The upper GI the next morning after surgery was NOT fun. But necessary to rule out any perforation so I could drink my Clear Liquids. MMM MMM GOOD!!

Long ordeal but it is done now and I can get back on the road to recovery. Gotta get my strength built back up for Christmas and my 3 yr old grandson.

HUGS to you all. I just love you guys.

      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.
