Oh and my post op is this Friday which is 9 days post op

Hey cmt7831, how are things?

I had my first post-op office visit and I'm doing well. I got to advance to the full liquid stage so excited. I ran and purchased yogurt. Those three teaspoons tasted so good going down!

I'm down 19 lbs from least office visit to present visit, with a total loss of 43 lbs from my highest weight to current weight. My cheeks hurt from smiling.

I totally love my heating pad. I found when I had gas and felt it in my back 30-60 mins on the heating pad and it was tooting later lol.

I got cleared to walk also, going to visit the track once the summer program is over at the track. I live on the third floor so steps were a restriction.

Keep up the great work you are doing.

I am hopefully going to be late July' date=' early August. It will depend on speed of (hopeful) approval and when they can fit me in I suppose. My best friend works for the surgeon and said that surgeries are usually scheduled two weeks out after approval.... Besides approval, my next big thing to work with is my school schedule. I am in nursing school and we go year round. I have a class with clinicals that ends July 23rd and I don't have another class that requires that kind of physical exertion until mid September. So I have about a 7 week window. We shall see....[/quote']

Yay

I like Atkins chocolate. I am now 4 days post-op and doing well at home. Not missing food although it does still smell good to me (I have read that some people get sick from the smell). The only thing that hurts me going down is the acid-reducer. I am in pain for about 5-10 minutes from that. Water, cold and hot liquids, and shakes all go down fine. I am excited to see what I am losing (surgeon asked me to wait until post-op 2 week appt) and cannot wait for the incisions to be less painful (only the one hurts...had to be an inch longer in the inside due to my mega large liver and extra accessory spleen! I have like 1.5 spleens...weird). Lol

      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.
