Hey guys, sorry took so long to long in. the surgery went very well. Just had one complication. One part of my stomach lining was will thick. Other than that no problems, I was out in about 2 hrs. The last thing I remeber is getting rolled out of the pre op area and nothing else after that. When I got rolled into the room, I was not in pain from the surgery but more from the air they put inside your stomach. I got to go home the next day, I was a little sore but did not have to take the pain meds for the pain. I did take the liquid medication to just help me sleep a little.

If your are thinking about getting the surgery, DO IT! I am the biggest baby and I came out just fine. I was so impressed with Dr. Boghossian, I am going to ask him if I may volunteer speak at the upcoming meetings for people thinking about getting the surgery. Thanks again for all the support and now it my turn to return the favor!

Respectfully,

Joe Lopez

      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.
