How exciting! I had my surgery yesterday (3-4-13). So far so good. Pain medication is a wonderful thing. I am hungry but I know this is part of making changes. I had the opportunity to watch the Biggest Loser last night with the Make-Over episode. I never watch that show so it was funny that it was actually on when I was flipping through channels. In any case, I can relate to your concerns. It will all be over shortly! Let the journey begin! :)

Best of luck to you man! The only real pain I had was back pain for some reason. I was damn near immobile for a couple of days.

I made it, Wooo hooo! The surgery went well according to the Doc. I had tiny hiatal hernia which they fixed.

Very nauseous right after but it went down but came back when we got home.

I'm okay now.

I've been virtually pain free with couple a hits from my liquid pain med.

Other than that I guess it's just one day at a the time. :D :D

      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.
