I wish you the best. An easy recovery & a tool that helps manage your weight for a lifetime. Please keep everyone posted. If things are different than you expected, please ask the experts b/c if you have a question so do others. Will be looking for updates. I will be following you shortly as my last doctor's appointment is 9-10 & then everything will be sent to my insurance company for approval. Take care, Jan

Good luck! :) The day of the surgery I felt like I was on top of the world. I was very loopy on the anesthesia and giggling a lot lol. I wanted to get up and walk around, and my aunt had to hold my hand because she was afraid I was going to fall over. The day after surgery I wasn't feeling so hot- lots of nausea and soreness. By the third day, though, I felt better.

Like all things, it'll be different for everyone. I feel pretty good now physically- just a little pressure on my chest from trying to sip this Protein stuff too much. The gas pain is almost completely gone. I'm 4 days out from surgery.

You'll be just fine!

      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.
