I went to the doctor for Migraines :(, but when the nurse was taking my blood pressure, the cuff didn't pinch me! That is up there with crossing my legs and fitting in a restaurant booth!

Oh no! You still got a Migraine after the surgery? I'm 5.5 months post op and haven't had a migraine. I typically have a lot of them before my wonderful sleeve. :) because you didn't get pinched! CONGRATS on your weight loss. ;)

I was the same way too! Not one since! Once my blood pressure was stable no more! I had them at least 2 times a week right before and the more I gained the worse they were. Thank goodness it's all over with now! Yay! Hope this will be the same for you!

Oh yeah! I love it when they don't have to go get the "special" (fatty) cuff to do this. I honestly think my THIGHS are about as big around as my upper arms WERE.

Ain't it great!

      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.
