Day 2 post-op, and so far it continues to be a cake walk! I feel remarkably well. Shoot, I've had menstrual cramps that were worse than this ... but then again, I am taking some good pain meds. ;)

Jill, you're next! :P

I continue to do really well. I'm still very bloated. I don't know how much of this is swelling or surgical gas? Regardless, I'm feeling good!

I hope so!!!

Dr B has all my paperwork and I was told my file is on his desk for review and once he signs off on it, the office sends it in to UHC.

I hope its soon.

The project I am on at the bank is heading in to overdrive and I need to know when my "vacation" will be. :P

How's your stomach feeling?

I'm still really bloated, but I'm feeling good! Localized tenderness is the only pain I have. My incisions are starting to itch, a good sign of healing. I went out for a little while this afernoon, and did fine. I'm well on my way to recovery. :)

I cannot get over how great I feel! The bloat is starting to come down, and my weight with it. I'm actually starting to feel hungry :hungry: again, and can feel my band and port! :clap2: I'm so excited about the future with my band; for the first time in a very long time I truly believe I will be healthy again.

I want to say Thank You to all of my LBT friends and my family for the awesome support you've given me during this journey! :cool: It's been a long time coming, and without you I might have given up the fight!

      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.
