So you are 3 days out. I left the hospital on the afternoon of day 3. I was feeling o.k., but not the best. On Sunday, I felt like a whole new person. Protein and walking really make a huge difference. I started walking in the mall for a couple of days and yesterday I walked 2 1/2 miles and that made me feel awesome! Don't worry, you will feel better!

Congrats. Now let me hate for a minute. LOL. MEN ALWAYS LOSE FASTER THAN WOMAN. Sooooo unfair. :D

Make sure to take plenty of pics now and during so you can remember what you used to look like. That's the one thing I wish I had done was taken plenty of BEFORE pics. I didn't becuz I didn't like the way I looked. I'm taking plenty of DURING pics and it's so freaking fun now.

Good luck as your journey progresses and please keep us updated.

P.S. GO CHIEFS

      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.
