So far so good. I was taken back this AM @ 945. I am not sure what time they put me to sleep, but I woke up at 12:45. I was in recovery for @ 3 hours. I am I n my room and my compression stockings are hooked up to some machine kinda like a blood pressure cuff. They sent in a person and she gave me a breathing treatment and I have to do exercise every hour. I have a dull uncomfortable pain. I am in and out. I am thirsty has hell! Can't have anything to drink yet. Thanks for all ur prayers.

Hopefully you'll have TONS of great, fresh-in-your-mind post-op advice (and weight loss to report!) for us who are not until later in the month (Oct 25 for me)

Looking forward to join you in Loserville!

      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.
