Surgery 4/23 7:30a! Can't wait for the hours to go by. I may be 56, but I'm a YOUNG 56, and I'm ready to get out there and LIVE like I haven't in years now. I want to go hiking. I want to buy clothes and feel good in them. I want to feel confident with I'm out and about. I want to feel healthy and energized. I'm ready. No one knows how much time they have left, so whatever it is, I want to be my best! Wish me luck and say a prayer if you will. Thanks!

Hi kweenbee! Surgery was a breeze. Postop journey has been a roller coaster ride! Full of ups and downs. Feeling good, bad, and in between. Tolerating Protein Powder and then not, then okay again. It will be 6 wks tomorrow, and right now I'm on the upswing. After dealing with reflux, and finding the right med and dose, I'm able to eat and drink just fine. Have you had surgery yet? I have no regrets, and am truly glad I've done this. Thanks for asking!

Hi Joni - How do you update your ticker? I've lost more weight and I can't seem to do an update without deleting the one I have and replacing it with a new ticker? Seems strange to me to do this every day, but I can't fugure it out. Can you help me?

Hi Robin - I'm not the person to ask about tickers because I have a heck of a time with them. Every site seems to be different with how they do it. I've actually just started over like it was a new ticker. Maybe post the question somewhere else or do a search of forums on ticker update. Hey, I think I might just do that too!! Sorry I can't be of more help, but CONGRATS on the weight loss!

      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.
