Best of luck to you for a safe and swift recovery! Your screen name caught my eye because like you I'm a autism mom to two autistic sons (16 & 23). I've put in so much time over the years to make sure their needs are met. Now it's time for us to do something positive for us, right?

I also have a wonderful son with mild autism. He is 14. He wants so badly to be normalized and not stand out. I understand him. I want to be normalized just like him. I am happy to see some mom's on here that have given so much more to the ones that need them then sometimes to ourselves. Good luck to you and I will have mine on Wednesday.

I too have a son with autism, although he's younger than yalls children. He just turned 3. I'm looking at July or August for surgery and worry about his reaction to my limitations during recovery. Good luck on your surgery!!

I hear that a lot of people are still craving and hungry after being home so just be careful and continue to eat what you are supposed to!

      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.
