Hi July sleevers' date=' my date is also on 22nd if my bank loan is approved in time. Really hope it goes well, have started the diet (low fat in my case and just fluids for last 2 days). So excited and nervous that I can hardly breathe.

I see that there are a few who will also be going on the 22nd.

WOULD LOVE IT IF ALL OF US JULYERS CAN BE FORUM FRIENDS! it will make it easier to navigate through the same issues.[/quote']

I am the 31st and you can friend me! I use mobile nostly and it doesnt let me friend people. Hey, mobile-app developers, how about a fix on that???? Lol

I certainly wish I didn't have to do a pre-op diet, but I am certinaly glad I went through those three awful days of withdrawal and am finished feeling like total crap with that BEFORE dealing with the pain of surgery. I'm on day 7, and can definitely see how I may never drink carnation shakes again once I can eat regular food!

I had surgery on the 15th. The second day was hellish p, I was dry heaving for 4 hours. But I think that was because the hospital took forever to give me pain meds once they took me off the pump. Yesterday and today have been fine, sore of course but able to function.

Hello Everyone! I had my surgery on the 17th! Everything went well. I was active since they put my in my room. My first walk was 2 am the next morning. I have been walking ever since. Not in any terrible pain. Just a little soreness from where the incision was where the pulled my stomach. And oh my the gas!!!!! I think the gas is worse than the soreness....lol! I've had my moments of trying to get my liquids down....the gas makes that a little difficult. But for now, things are good.

      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.
