I had my surgery on the 17th just got out of the hospital today not doing bad' date=' started rough i was on a pain pump that made ne really nauseous, probably because of the empty stomach, thank goodness for delaudin (sp?) Got a shot of that and finally started to turn around and was able to walk. Still not hungry really but find that sugar free fudgesicles are the best! I did come down with the flu while in the hospital so the coughing is making me miserable. But I braved the scale expecting gain of course and found that I lost almost 10 lbs already.

So far so good, still feel like the next 6 weeks will be an eternity.[/quote']

Wait don't I know you...... From somewhere...... Lol

That's great I'm glad everything is going well for you. It's true moving is a pain in the butt, but worth it in the long run. Just can't wait to get over this cough lol.

Just scheduled my 2 week follow up appointment for the 31st, my bday :-) so hopefully good news for my birthday present..

Good luck to ya!!

      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.
