Was the first in surgery today! Spent a decent amt of time in recovery. Only had one issue where the incision in between my ribcage just below my breasts REALLY hurt! But I got painkillers immediately n was instantly relieved. Even took a nap! Lol I'm waiting till 8 to go home. Nurse sees no reason for me to stay over. The discomfort is totally bearable, I am peeing well, can drink liquids n walk (slightly hunched over however).

Good luck to those that have yet to have their surgeries!!! Thanks for the support!

It's great to read that it went smoothly for you and that you get to go home! Hope your recovery continues to go well.

      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.
