WOW can't believe I'm done! The first two days at the hospital was rough thank god for IV pain medicine. Came home today and I feel wonderful mentally and physically. Wife and I went in as a team and battle the Nausea and pain. Of course she is sleep but who cares just glad we had no leaks. Dr. Kim one hell of a job. Now if I can just stay hydrated. Cabo San Lucas in July..

Had surgery today at 1:30 pm. Feeling pretty good all though I'm sure the pain pump is helping. The GAS is the worst part. Kinda felt like somebody was sitting on my chest all evening. Walking seems to be the most helpful tho. So glad to be over surgery and headed to a med free happy healthy life!!!! Thanks for all the support this page has provided. Good luck to everybody!!

      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.
