Thanks! Sorry I disappeared -- this experience has been INTENSE and I'm just now starting to feel human again. I'm exhausted, though, and need to nap a lot. The first four days were the worst, then from day 5 through about day 7, I transitioned from deep inner wound pain to outer itchy wound pain. I'm 12 days post-op already! And I'm very glad to be on the other side.

Thanks, everybody. I'm feeling pretty good. Yesterday, though, I started feeling a pain (more like discomfort) on my left side above the bottom left portal wound. I think it's just deep muscle pulling/healing -- it's like something in there just woke up. I'm going to call my doctor about it today, though, because it's kind of freaking me out.

I'm great! Thanks for asking! I'm 10.5 weeks out, losing an average of 4 - 5 pounds a week, pretty much have the hang of things and feel fantastic. Your surgery's in February?

Hey Kristy, hoping all is well with you.

      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.
