I am home now. I just can't get myself to drink 200ml (2/3 of a cup) of Protein Drink at a time. I am too full. I am sipping lots of Water and I feel good about that. I am so happy to be on the other side of this. I just hope everything continues to go as smoothly.

I did share a room in the hospital with a lovely woman from New Zealand who wanted to get the gastric bypass. I think the dr. roomed us together on purpose because he wanted her to go with the sleeve instead. She changed her mind to the sleeve and gets hers done on Monday. Maybe she will join this site as I showed it to her. The hospital experience was a bit of a language barrier sometimes because my Korean is not as good as it should be, but everyone was so helpful. The Dr. himself spoke perfect English and done seminars at Harvard.

Wow,, way to go JeepChick!!! You are in Korea?,, wow,and I have been complaining about it being cold here in Houston...

Please keep us informed on how you are doing, I hope post op isn't as hard as dieting pre-op.. I am 6 days of preop diet, lost 13 lbs, but lacking any energy.. My Doc told me to have something every 2-3 hours to help keep my blood sugar consistant. Makes sense.... Hope your having a great weekend!

Hi Jeepchick

So you are home, GREAT!!! Nothing feels better than being in your comfortable surroundings!

I still struggle getting enough fluids in, I have to make sure I drink them when I'm not going to eat anything. I have found that drinking Water in the morning before any food is easy. The energy drinks to me are not easy to get down, I poor them over ice it helps.

Keep up the good work!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
