Hey everyone! Had my surgery Wednsesday morning at 11:30 and as of right now I fee great!! After surgery I felt terrible for a while and ended up getting a shot of morphine which knocked me out for about 4 hours. I woke up like a new man. I think the problems arose from a combo of pain/gas/not tolerating anesthesia that well. So I felt real crappy for a while, then passed out until about 9PM and felt SOOOO much better when I woke up. Came home late Thursday morning, slept great last night and my only issues now, which really aren't issues, are a little bit of gas still and the minor pain from my incisions. Going back to the Doctor on Monday to have my incisions taken care of. I'll keep you all updated on what's going on as I go and I just want to thank all of you who offered me your support to help me get through my pre surgery jitters etc, etc. Thank you all!!!

      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.
