I'm going to keep things short and sweet because I go in out of being awake to being asleep. My surgery was yesterday on 4/9/13 in South Mississippi. Dr. Avara is my surgeon and he did a wonderful job with my surgery and aftercare!! I'm experiencing discomfort but mostly I'm doing well! I don't regret, the time, effort or energy that has been put into this journey! My life was at stake without this procedure so I chose life! I would like to scream a big thanks to all of my previous, present and further VST forum supporters!

I just want to report my 10lb weight loss! I'm a week out today! I'm so happy that I took this step in the right direction for my health.

How are you feeling, are you back at work?

Im feeling pretty good. My incisions are healing well. I'm no longer in need of pain meds. I must admit I'm tired, which I think is because I'm not taking my Vitamins correctly all of the time. I haven't gone back to work yet. I was fortunate enough to take the entire month off! Thanks for checking on me @Ir983286!

      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.
