Congratulations! Thank you VERY much for posting as I am having mine done on Monday 3/7. Another March date. I have been so anxious this week about the surgery but reading all the posts on this site does make me feel better. I look forward to also being on the losers bench starting next week and keep up with all on here. Thanks again!

Thanks for the shout out! (I hope that doesn't count towards my 15 minutes of fame though)- hee hee

I can ditto just about everything you've posted here. I've had a great experience and hope that others reading will be as social too and meet new friends in the hallways as we did. I am very much looking forward to staying connected with you ~ I think you're AWESOME!

Hey, it's my new SMF (Sleeve Mate Forever).

I think we had as much fun in a hospital as possible allowed. I'm doing great this morning. When I first wake up I feel like I did an ab class at LA fitness in the middle of the night but once i get moving all is good.

this was the first morning that I did the whole shower, make-up, hair dry and straighten etc etc... and it feels good to look like a human again.

Well for me it's been back to taking care of my boys. I made dinner for my husband last night (steak and salad) and have been doing minor non-strenuous house work (like dishes and folding laundry) and making school lunches etc.

I will probably go back to work Monday or Tuesday.

I'm looking forward to getting of the clear liquid diet. I need more Protein and I can't do the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth. It is nasty and doesn't taste like any real broth i've every had. I'm not much on the powdery taste. I like reg. Protein shakes and look forward to my first one on monday morning. i've been drinking the V8 juice lite mixed with the Isopure fruit punch Protein. I'm just a Water girl and would prefer Water but i know i need some calories. I do miss my morning diet Dr. Pepper.

Glad to see you on board.....

      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.
