Looks like several of us had surgery on the 24th. I'm venturing out to the garden a couple times a day, but otherwise, I've got the blahs. I don't think this weather's helping though. I was looking forward to it training, but it looks like we're not getting any.

I am doing good! I really started getting my appetite back today and have tolerated my Protein Shakes a little at a time. I'm still weak but I haven't been eating or drinking nearly enough. I have a two story condo that I have been able to get up and down just fine and able to take showers too. I'm still in a little pain mainly from my gallbladder being removed I think. But sure u would do fine with the stairs but better safe than sorry. Good luck with your recovery!

Hi all! Also banded on the 24th and have had no pain at incisions, but OMGosh the gas pains I thought were going to kill me. Unable to much walking due to storms and flooding...it's been a crazy 5 days, but I'm still glad I'm here!

      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.
