I lived in stewarsville!! Haha so funny.. We lived in Kennedy mills, right off exit 4 but after having kids we needed to be closer to family and moved back to somerset county.

Wow your surgery is so close!! Best of luck to you.. You'll have to keep me posted on eveything. I wasn't asked to loose any weight bc I have a very low 40 bmi.

How are you feeling?

I am feeling good. I am actually going back to work tommrrow after only a little over a week off. I am able to do everything by myself. I really am not that hungry. Whenever I smell food it makes me think about eating but I really am not hungry. I am no longer on any pain medicine I only have a small amount of discomfort. Right after surgery I was having this bubble feeling when I drank anything but I started taking priolosec and it stopped. I am going to start walking today. So far so good.

I lived on greens ridge road too! lol...329! with the red door..

We lived there only a few years, when we had our first daughter we moved to be closer to family and my husband works in newark so the commute was far.

      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.
