Hello all. I had surger this morning at 10. Everything went great and I feel fine. I have no pain as of yet. I am walking on the hour and washing my mouth with Water as I am very, very thirsty. Water tomorrow. Yay! I haven't had any food since last night and I am not hungry at all. :) Very tired and groggy. They give me meds when I need them. Met two other Canadian girls who are here. All the doctors are wonderful and have spent lots of time going over things with me. A very positive experiencs so far! :)

Thank you ladies for the well wishes. I emailed my daughter tonight and told her to take my scales home. I don't want to be a "scale whore". lol Having a bit of insomnia so went for a walk then on here to kill some time. Hubby is sleeping like a baby with his cpap machine. It is very quiet here so there shouldn't be any reason to not sleep, other than the fact I can't seem to get comfy. Well back to try some more zzz's. More tomorrow.

Hey Wendy,

If you can't sleep and want something they will give it to you, hopefully rest came your way. Good call with the scales. I am driving myself crazy and I've learned that my scaled hovers for about a week then BOOM one day it is drastically down, it ends up leaving me disappointed 6 out of 7 days! I really need your daughter to come get my scale too.

I had trouble sleeping there too - strange place, bed not very comfy, arm swelling up and IV popping out - ha. Don't be afraid to ask for a sleeping pill, it helps and resting your body is important to the healing process. I'm so glad you're doing well. Keep up the walking and just know that each day will get better and better!

      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.
