Hey Keke, just checking in with you to see if you're doing well. My prayers are with you. As soon as you have some energy and are not high on meds LOL send me a quick note so that we all know you're doing great. *Hugs*

OMG Keke I'm so happy for you :rolleyes::D Thank God you're doing great. I hope to be that lucky when its my turn. Yes, from what I've read, the chest pain is from the small stomach pouch and the gas. Keep walking girly, it'll all come up and it helps with healing. Can't wait to hear your stats. Oh shoot, I just read about the staff. SMH you'd think with the type of surgery you've had, they would be compassionate. Maybe you should bring it to the attention of your Dr. But if you're going home tomorrow then wait till you have your follow up with him. Your dr. should know whats going on since that is a reflection on his practice since his or her patients are there.

      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.
