I'm home and feeling more rested in my own bed!

Gas pain has subsided which is great. The port incision is quite sore but the other cuts are perfect, no discomfort at all.

Keeping up with pain meds and have just made myself a smooth chicken cup a soup! Yummy!

Surgery for me tomorrow! Have lost 18lb! So a good start for the long road ahead!

My surgery was yesterday too and I had only lost 10lbs. However I did real good with my surgery. I didn't even stay overnite in the hospital like planned. My Dr. is great! Very thorough! I feel good. Starting to get a Lil gas.

Well, tomorrow's the day! I finally feel like I'm ready. Between getting all the pre-op stuff done and trying to get as much done at work as I could, I've barely had time to think! Getting ready for this surgery has felt like a second job LOL! I'm SO ready to be on the other side and start the next phase of this journey!

Good to hear your doing good. I also had a hernia repaired. The gas pain is starting to subside. But now I am getting hunger pains almost. Clear fluids are getting the best of me.

I just got back from my one-week follow-up with my surgeon. I'm happy to report that I have lost 8 lbs. since surgery and 20 overall since starting pre-op diet. My only problems are a little pain at my port site and recurring pain in my left shoulder. My dr. said both should resolve within the next week. I'm feeling good and have more energy every day. So far so good!!

Congrats, I had my surgery on Aug 19th, my weight loss is coming along okay, from pre-op to date I've lost 19 lbs. My first visit with my doctor since surgery will be on the 10th of Sept -- not sure why so far off I've seen others going in sooner perhaps they didn't have any openings not sure. Anyway, I'm still sore too and just starting to have an appetite. My diet is pureed (babyfoods) and soft diet until Sept 11th when I transition to solids. I'm not sure when I will receive my first fill but I'm looking forward to it. The band is heavy and my incision area is very, very tender to touch. My energy is slowly returning, I think after the long holiday weekend I will be almost back to normal.

Had my surgery on the 20th and my follow up is not til Sept 11. My energy is very low too. I'm still on Clear liquids. I'm hungry a little hut I'm hanging in there. I go see my nutritionist on the 3rd. Have you started your multi Vitamin yet?

I am ready for my energy level to pick up. Now that I can have pureed foods I'm really trying to up the Protein. Taking a chewable Multivitamin and B12. I barely have the energy to do anything after I get home from work and I am in bed by 9 pm every night which is a first for me! Hopefully we can all get some rest over the long weekend.

      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.
