The anticipation of surgery was harder than recovery. I was terrified but finally just went through with it. I had quite a bit of work done...two genius repair as well as adhesions removed from a surgery 27 years ago which was an open surgery. I was told I might not be able to have laparoscopic surgery because of this prior surgery and remembered the pain of the open surgery. No problems, text book recovery and laparoscopic! Try not to be too anxious guys, there are plenty of us on the losing side that have done just great:) good luck

Things went well my bloot sugars are all over the place. Was given insulin 2x so far. I am sleeping on and off and did a small walk. It is hard due to dizziness. I made it through.

      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.
