Happy to say that my surgery went awesome. Was in OR at 1515 on 3/19 and home at 1245 on 3/20. Fortunately no gas pain.....but alot of soreness and the worst was feeling the drain being taken out. I'm doing well with my Protein, Jello, broth and all fluids. I'm feeling good about my decision to do WLS and even better that I have so many prople to share and exchange our positive and negative experiences with. Thanks you all for your bravery and just doing what's best for you.

I struggle with understanding why some surgeons put drains in people and some don't. I was so fortunate to not have drain for my sleeve procedure and/or my gallbladder removal......It sounds so painful......Welcome home and it's good to have you on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH! :)

Well from what I was told by my surgeon, it's to get rid of extra Fluid around your incision, the Fluid needt a port of exit otherwise a buildup of fulids could cause dangerous complications...however if a surgeon chooses not to use a drain that seems fine too because afterall they are the trained professionals and hopefully do whats best for their patients on an individual basis...Thanks Ms. Skinnie never been so proud to be on a awesome winning team ~TeamBariatricBeauties~

      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.
