All I can say is I'm glad it's over!!! But now the really work begins. Sore but not in real pain rate it a 3 on pain scale. Please keep up the schedule with your pain meds! I had the beat doctor ever ( dr bagnato from Albany, ga) his staff was wonderful and he made sure I was comfortable. The actually surgery was 45 minutes. I arrived at 8 and was home by 3!! I have to share a secret.. I ask could I have Valium before the procedure and it was a lifesaver. I was so anxious last nite and it helped me get a good night rest and this am I was well rested and calm. My only complaint was I am a hard stick and I was stuck 11 times before I got a IV but also I had took a Valium this am and I was ready for the world!! Just trying to get comfy for tonite but I believe this was one of the best choices I ever made!!

congratulations... its over now, and , yes, your new life begins... Get as much rest as you can. Dont expect too much from yourself.. your body needs to recover from the surgery and you will need some time to readjust to your new life.

im sure you will do really well. keep reading and posting... we want to hear how it is with 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.
