Hello Everyone:)

I had my surgery on July 16,2013 and from what my doctor is saying I'm doing really well! My first few days I was in some pain but he staff at Yale new haven hospital were amazing. I thank God that today I'm feeling awesome besides some soreness and these gas bubbles that really hurt. Been walking as much as possible have not weighed my self just yet I have my follow up appointment on July 29th I'm going to try and wait till then:) well see how that goes ....it really helps to have the support of people who love you once I had woken up and felt the pain I was like omg what did I do but with there help support I am feeling quiet fabulous. One think I wanted to asked is does anyone know how to help with this gas those bubbles can be painful :)

Tootle:)

congratulations!!!! So nice to hear @ five days you're doing so well. If you don't mind my asking, who did the surgery?

I'm going with Dr. Floch out of Norwalk,....Yale would have been much closer.....but he came highly recommended by 2 people I know......plus...I know too many people at Yale, making it hard to keep this quiet LOL

It's so nice your family was there to support you!

Thank you so much !! I truly feel blessed with my progress! Dr Roberts at Yale performed my surgery he was very nice and even visited me a few times while I was in the hospital. I know what you mean about keeping it quiet there were a few people I knew there it was kinda awkward. Lol I heard abt a Dr in Norwalk but that would have been too far for my family and I definitely needed them.

I am 2 1/2 months out and is the best thing I have ever done for myself. The wall is coming down and I am living more again. I wish I had done sooner but everything has its time. I will not be fat and fifty this year. I will be smaller and telling everyone one I am 40!

      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.
