Congratulations! I go in the morning, too. Little scary, but it is a starting point for the rest of my life. Well, actually I started that thinking that on the 10th, when I started the 14 day liver reduction diet. Keep us posted~

Hello everyone...im post op day 2...surgery went

well didn't have a lot of pain just discomfort from

the gas...I had great nurses who had me up and

walking 4hrs after surgery...the doctor told me he

was proud of me for how well my liver had

shrank...yesterday I had to keep down 96 oz of

fluids and walk 20 laps to be discharged...so by

the grace of God I came home yesterday...haven't

experienced any nausea yet but I have been

sleeping a lot and trying to get these fluids in!!! I

lost 14lbs pre-op so i'll weigh in again nxt

week...the only thing I wish is that I could've

brought the hospital bed home lol...but thanks for

all your prayers and well wishes they're greatly

appreciated...so continue to pray for a speedy

revovery and ill keep you all posted!!! Im a sleever

now!!!

Congrats Rochelle !!! Stay encouraged. Be sure to get some walking around in. I am not sure if the blood clots can still form but I am told they can. Set your phone to make sure you are up drinking fluids and eating as directed . Good luck and God bless

      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.
