I was done by Dr. Nick on May 21st. I'm 9 days post op. I agree, Forest Park was really great, make sure you walk as soon as possible after the surgery. The nurses are nazi's about it but its good for you, you'll thank them when you only need to spend one night in the hospital. Oh yeah, I've lost 40 lbs since starting the pre-op diet. 17 since the surgery. I have a lot left to lose...

I apologize for the delayed response - I forget to log on here! Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling? I am 7 weeks post op today; down 41 lbs and feel better every day. I was recently released for solid foods and it has been quite an experience these past few days! I remember the dietician say during my pre-op class, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"

      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.
