Hey there I had my surgery March6 2012. Hardest, most scary yet the best and most rewarding decision of my life! It's normal to be scared but as time flys by, because it will, and the pounds are shed off you will be so happy of your choice to embark on this journey. It won't be easy, and yes possibly painful and you may encounter negative comments and even haters as you transform into a healthier happier you, but all that willhave been worth it. Stay strong and best of luck. I have my 1 yr appt on march7. And I am still 7 lbsfrom my doctors goal a little disappointed but I think I'll make it in do time:)

yayyy Carroll! It's one decision you won't regret! When I first woke up from my surgery, I have to admit, I did have a minute of doubt. The first thought to cross my mind was "What did I do to myself?" I know it was the groggy head feeling and the pain talk. Because the next time I woke I was ok and got a dose of pain med. It took from 2pm to 1am for the fogginess to lift from my head. Then it's been all good. so far it's going smoothly. I'm able to get in my 60-80 grams of Protein and at least 6 cups of liquids...definitely 8 counting the Protein shakes/broth.

Good luck with your surgery. It'll be here before you know 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.
