I'm over in alabama---but I'm having my surgery on the 22nd and am promising to update my blog frequently during recovery so please feel free to go check it out and maybe get some insight or tips that I may come across while I'm recovering!

Good luck! :)

Hello all! I just joined and am having my surgery 3/27. I am VERY excited and have not been nervous once. I feel like I should, esp when people ask over and over "are you nervous?".

I am so glad I found this website-its great to have others to relate to. I also have a wonderful family and supportive friends (& even some negative nellies :tongue2: ). I hope everyone else does too-its so important. thx for listening

Fitbottomdgirl, New Chapter and Mews TODAY is the first day to a newer you. You are all in my prayer for a successfull surgery and recovery. See you all on the loser bench. 13 days and counting when I will be there with you. Keep us post on your progress.

Thanks Mrs. Riene for your support and prayers! I can't wait to hear of your progress after your surgery! Keeping your seat warm on the loser's bench. To all the March sleevers to come, my experience has been a bit tough and I still look like the Nutty Professor (lol), but I am blessed to be recovering at home smoothly. I've already lost 9lbs from pre-op weight and can't say that the complications outweigh the results. Best of luck to all of you! If you ever want to chat, just message me!

Good Morning Lighteningbug and BuBsmama,

You guys surgery date is just a few days prior to mine. I glad to see you all are feel good. I am just a bit anixous but not scared. It just I have been going through this process for sometime and now it is getting to the very end. Yesterday, I did all of the pre-op testing, today I saw my surgeon and everything is set. Tomorrow I start my pre-diet and then in a few short days the BIG DAY!!!

      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.
