Hi all, I survived my surgery!! This is the first chance I've had to get online since my procedure. All in all, not too bad! The pain was less than I expected and is so far very manageable...I'm sure the pain meds have something to do with that. I have been pretty nauseous so far today. I'm hoping it's short lived. Just happy to have made it through and I'm excited for the future!

Devon, I hope your surgery went well too. Best of luck in the days ahead!

Surgery went well. They removed my gallbladder and repaired a hiatal hernia. I'm a little sore, having trouble sleeping all night - and seam to have lots of gurgling everytime I sip! All in all - I'm well.

Devon, so happy to hear that you are doing well. You had a lot of work done so you will be sore. I hope you are up and moving and feeling better very quickly ;)

      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.
