Now this is what I like to see! After reading too many horror stories about recovery, I am relieved to see that you are doing so well. My surgery is Tuesday 9/13. I don't have my time yet but I am a nervous wreck.

I wasnt scared or jittery at all I was just so excited that it was finally happening. I did have alot of emotion but I was so happy to be beginning my new life journey. Don't be scared this is all still fresh to me. I just had my surgery on Tuesday Sept. 6th. I feel great and honestly if i didnt have the surgery sites i wouldnt even feel like i have had surgery. I never used the pain meds I had filled. The worst thing is this liquid diet to me its harder after surgery because your just so tired of the shakes. I hate that you have to wait until 5 pm why is he doing a surgery so late in the day? Just don't worry its going to be A O.K. and i will be here you can message me anytime you want hun.

I think my husband and i are going to go to a mid day moviE to break up the time a bit! Just so anxious to get a view of the losers bench! (although i have lost 17 pounds since my appt with the dr on 8/4!)

      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.
