Oh... That's my birthday. I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. I'm not as young as you, I'm in my 30's. You are so lucky to be having the procedure at such a young age.

Thanks so much , Did you feel nervous about your surgery at all?....I really dont feel scared or nervous and I wonder if thats a bad thing ? I am thinking maybe its because I still have a month 1/2 before surgery ??!!!! I am actually more worried about my plane ride more then anything since its my first flight eekk :o

I was more excited about the procedure. I didn't get nervous until I left for the hospital. When they put the iv in me I got a little shaky. But I just kept taking deep breaths, and kept reminding myself of the outcome. My procedure only took an hour. I work at a hospital, so I knew that this procedure was pretty low risk. The fact that I was in and out of the or in an hour was confirmation for me. I was is a little pain, if I had to describe it I'd say it felt like I did 1000 sit ups. I really didn't use much of the morphine drip in the hospital, I'd say I used about 1/8th of my morphine drip. They sent me home with Tylenol 3, and I only took that the first two nights so I could sleep. Other than that everyday it gets better, as far as your diet it is very trial and error, you'll have figure out what works for you as far as your Protein.< /p>

      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.
