Hi!

I got back from TJ yesterday and after a good nights sleep I feel pretty good all things consdiered. The experience was not bad at all and I am glad that I did it. I was very nervous about being sick and feeling really lousy. I will admit, the first 2 days were rough, and I was kind of hatin life, but I trudged through. I had a nasal gastric tube for the first 24 hrs after the surgery and I think that is what bothered me the most. I HATED it. I wasnt sick, I have been able to drink fluids pretty well and I feel good!!! I will keep you posted on my progress. Have a great weekend.

Hey Miranda!

I am doing very good! I tried a Protein shake today for the first time and it seemed to sit well. I havent been hungry at all, but know I need some nutrition. It was a real pleasure to have met you as well and I really hope to stay in touch. After the first 2 days, I havent had any problems getting my fluids in. Im so glad to hear that you are doing great!! I have to admit, Im doing ALOT better than I thought I would. Have you heard from anyone else yet? I added everyone to my Facebook and so far everyone except Amy has responded. I better run and finish my shake....lol Take care and keep in touch ( I will too!)

      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.
