Well I'm doing ok, it's not as bad as I anticipated but its def not easy. As long as I stay on top of meds it's bearable. Tried to take shower last night & that didn't work out so well, almost passed out. Had to sit on tub side & let my aunt give me quick wipe down. The whole room went black on me. I have never in my life had that happen! Was extremely scary! I'll post updates as I feel like it! ;-)

I can just imagine my flat tummy! Can't wait!

Btw for those who asked--- I had surgery on 1/24/13 Thursday, & I'm staying until 2/2/13 sat, so 9 days. I didn't want to fly in complete misery & pain so I allowed I hope ample time!

sending healing wishes your way. Looking forward to hearing & seeing the after pics. I'm relatively early on in the process (only 8 weeks out from surgery) but when all the weight is gone and I've given my body time to do whatever it will do - I'm thinking of plastics. Take it easy, feel better.

Made it home last night around 10 pm my time, flight was relatively easy, took my meds and a xanax and slept during the longer portion of the trip. I had 2 companions with me and they toted all my stuff, I reserved a wheelchair at airports, and my brother pushed me around so that was easy as well. I would not want to do this alone, but it is possible if you must. I enjoyed the company, and I LOVED mexico. We stayed in Rosarito Beach in a beachfront condo and I could lay in bed and watch the beach and surf crashing, plus watch the dolphins playing. It was really nice. Pain in under control now, only mild painkillers the last few days as needed. Ill post more later.

      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.
