@saltlife

Dr Jessie,she only works with the instrument called the butterfly?? U only have 1incision? Or do u have 4to5? Im asking because I started with her and ended up with DrA. her office took to long to move forward with me and that was one of the reasons I originally choose her.

Doing pretty good thanks. I went in to surgery yesterday, came out with 4 incisions...but they are pretty small so no worries there. I really didn't even feel like eating surgery day with the Clear liquids, but the day after I'm pretty empty stomach. So I just made watered down cream of wheat. Today, I can feel this small pressure in my chest where the band and I assume swollen stomach are. Other than that, I feel pretty good thanks!

      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.
