Thanks Nancy,

I am just about to leave for the hospital. I can't tell you how excited I am and how long I have waited for this day. I will hopefully be able to get back on in a couple of days to let you all know how things went.

Good luck to all those who are having surgery tomorrow as well!!

Hello everyone!

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Everything

Worked out ok today for surgery. The day started out a 5:30, got to the hospital at 6. Surgery was right at 8 and I was out like a light. Next thing I knew I was in recovery.

The next hour was ruff. I was so uncomfortable and nauseous that I couldn't take it. Once the anti nausea drugs and pain killers kicked in I was surviving but miserable. Longest hour of my life it seemed like.

Another hour and more pain and I was heading for the room. The rest of the afternoon and evening have been spent sleeping and resting. I've had spurts were I gelt like a million bucks and othe times I thought I was going to puke.

It's kinda neat laying here in bed know that this long hard journey is almost complete. No to

Move on to the rest of my life. Without the weight.

Thanks for posting biggriz. Sorry you are having so much pain, but it will pass in time. Try getting up and walking a bit that should help some. Here's hoping that you get feeling much better today.

Biggriz..I've been thinking about you! Thanks for updating! I think the first hours after any surgery are pretty rough, but you have such a great attitude and it sounds like you've handled it like a champ! I'm sure everyday will get better as you adjust to your new way of life. You're doing great..keep up the good work..and CONGRATS on making it to the other side :)

I need a favor from one of my July sleeve buds - can someone tell me how to add a ticker to my signature line.

go to tickerfactory.com or lilyslim.com and make a ticker

When you are done it will give you a code...make sure it is HTML format

Right click and cut the whole code

Go to My settings

Profile

change signature

Place cursor where you want your ticker to go in your signature page.

Under other styles choose HTML and a box will pop up and right click and insert/paste whole code into little box.

here is the tutorial link in case my directions are not clear enough:

I'm doing good - just battling through the gas pains and minor indegestion. It comes and goes and usually only lasts a minute or so. Looking forward to a full night sleep and waking up a new man tomorrow!!!

      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.
