I'm doing great. Didn't get sick last night and I got more fluids in. I'm happy about that! Thank you!

How did everything go? Hope you're feeling well.

I'm feeling great. I'm able to get all my Fluid in. . My energy level is good . I think I over did it yesterday with my wii fit but this morning I'm great. I've been having a little discomfort when I drink my shakes but I noticed that decrease as the days go by. Dr. Hart and Emory Johns Creek was wonderful.

You know they are putting an LA Fitness right on 78 where the old Kroger used to be. I have a membership and I am allowed to take 1 person for free besides my daughter. My daughter had gastric bypass May 30, 2012

Loved Dr. Macik and Northside. Only stayed in hospital one night. Everyone was great. I have been lucky and off pain meds since I got home. Had major dry heaves when they gave me pain meds in the hospital. Trying to walk out the gas pains...those still hurt the most.

He did an awesome job on my daughter. He doesn't speak much but he is very lovable.

What did you do for pre-diet.

I did the low/no carb diet. So a lot of veggies and grilled/ baked meats. Whole fruits and Water. I was glad I didn't have to do the liquid diet.

I am like ten minutes from that new gym. My niece and I were thinking about joining there. We did the get in shape boot camp around the corner for five weeks and it was great!

I ate veggies and minimal meat. i was losing the weight but I wanted to come off faster. I didn't work out that much before I got the sleeve. I am not really that motivated to do the work. I was thinking that after the surgery would do it. Getting the weight off suppose to be easy now! I sleeved 10/10/12. Hoping that I change my thought of having regrets.

      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.
