Hi Sue

I hope your surgery went as "text book" and that you look and feel marvelous that is when your all healed up.

I've heard some PS can take a few months to see results but in your case I think your going to see results immediately?

I've been thinking about you. Fill us in with all the details when you can.

Hi, guys. I had a couple of good days, and then the On-Q pain relief system was finished doing its job. I'm uncomfortable now and on drugs. My energy level waxes and wanes. I had two relatively sleepless nights. Went to the doctor on Wednesday (six days post-op). He removed some tubes and I had the wound redressed.

I had NO Lipo and no fat removal, per se. It was just that the hanging panniculus--the "apron of skin"--that hung down is gone. I'm a little swollen right now. And I'm REALLY resenting my stupid Jackson-Pratt drains that are there to allow all the Fluid to collect outside the body. Anyway, my last pill is kicking in. I'm going to go enjoy the magic.

Thanks for all the good wishes!

I could only dream of having that flabby thing removed. I have a picture when I was 7 in a bikini showing my "pooch." I've had it way too long. Wow, Sue, that's awesome. Hope you feel better quick since summer is here and you'll want to show off your new belly!

      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.
