I made it! My hubby was at my side the entire day-he's at the pharmacy picking up my meds. I am sore as if punched in the stomache a few times. My port aea was sore too. I'll give a full repor tomorrw-hopefully I'll feel more up to it! I think I feel a little acid reflux and or gas-not completely sure yet. I am a slower healer! Thanks for all your well wishes-hopefully a full report tomorrow!

Very cool! I'm one week post op and enjoying mushies, so it's starting to seem like the right decision. The first few days I was sort of regretful. :) welcome to the club and come to the forum for any concern s you have. This site had been such a comfort to me.. Thank you all!

      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.
