It might not have been a long ways to go to get to onderland but it came so fast. 2 weeks post op exactly. Havent been here for years and I don't plan on leaving :)

still holding my breath to get over the 6 week leak scare (I know they can happen anytime but 6 weeks is my magic number tip I can put it in the back of my mind). Recovery has been a breeze thus far. Seeing everyone's posts and pics are such a great help and inspiration to a newbie like myself.

You look great!!

As a side note, i just had my hair done today. It's like yours but i have bangs. I'm at 11 weeks and my hair is falling out. She showed me that having a straight part will show more of the bald spots. Instead, Criss cross your hair over the part so it looks like a zig zag pattern, not a straight line. It really works!! And have long layers so the hair doesn't lay heavy on the scalp.

wow as I re-read my posts I'm going to have to stop making posts from my phone because I have mispelled and missed letters all over the place (gotta love autocorrect). Thank you guys and Doxie as much as I don't want to think about the Hair loss I know it's coming, those are great tips and I'm also going to keep my hair blonde (I usually go dark in winter) to keep the contrast of my hair and my white scalp to a minimum. My hair isn't thin but its very fine so I'm dreading the loss cuz it doesn't feel like theres much to take from. I'm also going to start the Hair growth Vitamins and switch up my shampoo/conditioner to some that were recommended on here to kickstart my growth before I even notice more strands in my hands than usual. And I have been using JOICO body luxe thickening elixer on and off for years which I love, gives instant volume when you dry your hair that lasts all day without being greasy or heavy like some of the root booster products. I highly recommend it.

      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.
