Thank you Vance, hearing from someone just two weeks out keeps me encouraged. I have not had a lot of pain and as long as I sip small and slow I can keep down the clear liquid diet so far. I was wondering why I feel a little tender in my lower abdomen but only when I get up or down from sitting or laying and when I walk around it seems to stretch out and be better. Did you experience anything like that early on and did it go away? I am waiting for a call back from the nurse in the surgeons office to ask her about it. It hurts just a little but not bad.

Thanks for writing and I am glad to have someone to share the day with also.

Sounds like you are doing pretty well now. Congratulations to you and good luck.

For the ticker go to tickerfactory.com and design your ruler and marker after you are done you can cut and past the URL info into your signature in this site and it will show. You will have to keep updating the tickerfactory.com web site with you loss info for it to change.

I have been very fortunate to not have had any nausea so far. I took a pill before my surgery that the md had prescribed to keep the nausea at bay following surgery and I have a script for Zophran that I take before taking the liquid pain med so it doesn't make me sick.

I'm actually sipping on my first Protein shake today and it's going down well. I can definitely tell if I sip too much lol doesn't hurt, just uncomfortable.

Thank you Patti! I'll get a ticker set up later. Good luck to you as well....I think we're gonna be just fine :D

Yes, I felt that tenderness in my lower abdomen, but as you said, only when I got up or sat down. I think everyone has that. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about, but it is good that you called. Always better to be safe than sorry. Good luck on your new journey! I'm sure we will continue to cross paths as we go through this together! :)

      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.
