First I would like to thank the people who prayed for me. My surgery went well! The hospital stay is the worst but once you get home its way better. I believe most of the hunger anyone is experiencing is mental. I have been walking and just staying positive! Its a challenge but if you want it bad enough it is a good thing!! whoever plans on getting this done I wish you the best of luck and its normal to feel nervous and scared but you will do just fine...the key is getting up and moving asap!! God bless you all...any concerns just ask and hopefully I can help!

Today is my 3rd day as well. Got home around noon. Hospital stay was ok nurses were great. Still have some pain it might just be gas pain. Staying positive, and moving going for a walk in a bit. Being using my heating pad it is making me fell a bit better, passing more gas.

Good luck to all ,Crystal

      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.
