I am going on 7 weeks post op this coming Tuesday.Yay! I just want to let those of you that are going to have the surgery that's it is though getting through the first couple of weeks well it was for me. I see people post on here how they have regrets and I went through the same thing for the first week or two but now I'm over it. I am starting to feel so much better now! I do have some port pain which is weird cause I didn't have it in the beginning but I read that its normal to get some pain in that area. I have also had my first fill going for another in one week and the first went good I didn't feel any pain at all. I may only get .5cc because I have been doing so good. I started at 207.8 pre op and now I'm 177.2 I can't really see a difference but everyone else can I think it all just happened so fast and its all in my head. Well just some information for you guys. Also I love myfitness pal if you haven't joined I recommend you do its an awesome app.

Congrats to you on your weight loss so far...it sounds like you are doing great!! I had port pain a few weeks after surgery also, but it went away shortly. I love myfitnesspal also. I wish I would have known about it when I had my surgery. It definitely keeps me accountable for bad choices that I make.

      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.
