I am so proud of myself for making the decision to better my life. I am trying not to let myself get too nervous because I have been waiting for this day for so long now. I have to be at the hospital for 11am and my surgery will be around 2pm. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers today!

I will update you as soon as I can : )

Good luck to you. I just had surgery Monday. I feel great. The only advice I can give you is the sooner you get up to walk the better. And walk as much as you can tolerate. Get that gas out of your body and keep your legs moving!!

I am home! They discharged me last night at 645pm so I only had a one night stay. I do have some discomfort, and I'm not sure if it's hunger or gas! My stomach is just making a constant grumbling noise. After I drink Water I have to Stan up otherwise it is painful. Anyone else experience this?

      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.
