Hi everyone!! I ended up having the baby earlier that expected. She was due on Oct 31st but decided to come on Sept 26th. She weighed 4 lbs 14 oz and was 17 1 /2 inches long. We decided to name her Hope Virginia. She ended up in the NICU due to being preterm but luckily she was fine. They were just concerned with her weight and due to her being jaundice. Well she is a little piglet so the weight isn't too much of a concern anymore. She was able to leave the hospital yesterday with a weight of 4 lbs 10 oz and I took her back this morning for a weight check and she was 4lbs 13.3 oz. So as you can see she is doing quite well. :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: Just wanted to let everyone know!!

Hope was born on my 60th birthday! What a precious gift. Glad to hear she is doing so well. You will have your hands full with a Libra. Enjoy her. ;)

      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.
