well i am currently four days out. Im not going to sugar coat anything, surgery is difficult. The first day I was fine in the hospital but by the second day they had to keep me because i could not keep fluids down. By the 3rd i felt a lot better because my body had started to adjust to what happened to it. Today is my 2nd day outside the hospital and at home and today my energy levels are low. Out of the whole surgery the naseua was the worse part, not the pain.

Right now im focusing on getting my Protein which is harder than i thought because the protein im using is too thick for me. I know im in the very beginning stages of this process but the way Im improving everyday gives me faith it will get easier. The next day has always been better than the last. I hope this is all worth it! Good luck on your journey.

Financially it works out for us to do it at the same time - less time off work taking care of each other, babysitter, etc. I wish u luck

I'm hoping for sometime the end of August but it's starting to look like it might not happen until September due to circumstances at work.

      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.
