Howdy all...surgery almost didn't go I had personal doubts...than recovery was rough...WCB count high so I stayed in the hospital 2 days only to find at my CT to rule out any infection and or leak that my large fibroid cyst from y hysterectomy 09/2010 was huge and causing some issues!! OH JOY well I am home now, resting and enjoying the Protein and liquid WE CAN DO IT!!!

Good luck tomorrow!!! :) Let us know how it goes!

How are you feeling?!?! I'm getting mine this week!

I'm doing good. Struggling to get everything in, made my first homemade Protein shake today. I was able to sip about half of it down over an hour or so. It's really hard because I really have no appetite. Very strange for me but I'm rolling with it.

Everything is rumbling and moving inside today, lots of loud noises and gas. Hoping that all goes away soon and I get a little appetite back so I can enjoy my shakes and yogurts and such. Then again, I've only been out of surgery two days so I'm probably being a little impatient.

I'm wishing you the best of luck and want to hear all about your journey when you feel good enough to share with us.

You seem to be having very few issues, from what I've read from others. That's awesome. From what I've read the first coupleof weeks or so suck really bad. I'ts going to be rough, but YOU CAN DO IT!! I'm getting really nervous, other than that, my liquid diet is going fairly strong! I've had a few moments of weakness, but I survived! Just the fact that you got down half a shake in an hour is pretty impressive! I've been reading A LOT that many could barely sip Water the first couple of days! Keep up the good work! You are on your way!

      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.
