Today was day 13 for me and I was able to walk a little distance outside, got a little dizzy coming back to the house but made it back. I felt really good today. Still sore around the port area and one incision but other than that all is great. First 6 days were horrible and I was asking myself "why did I do this"? Today, I would do it all over again!!!

That's too funny that the first couple say 9 days because I was going to say the same thing. I'm actually 9 days today and I feel pretty great! I slept through the entire night without waking up from pain and I got out of bed without pain. I knew it was going to be a great day at that point! So far, I would definately say day 9 for me is a great day! :)

Glad to hear feeling better is just around the corner. Today is day 3 for me and I am sick of all these blended foods. I can barely eat anything. Cannot wait for the other 6 or so days to come!!

      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.
