Sometimes i think i get hunger and gas pains confused. Believe me I cant wait either. But i have no idea what i want to eat. Im getting use to it too. It really is a all day thing. I go back to work tomorrow, so we will see how that goes. Its very light duty so i think i will be ok. When do you have your next appt with your surgeon?

I think I would have been cool to go back to work this week too. I'm glad to have the extra time off, though. My next surgeon appt is the 19th, so about 2 weeks and 2 days out.

I am not confused at all about hunger. It is very clear to me. It is a lot like a newborn baby. I get hungry every 2 hours or so, eat or drink, and am happy for a while. :)

Hey y'all!

Tomorrow is THE day! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Surgery is at 10 AM. After that I will be starting a brand new chapter in my life - the skinny one!

I'm on liquids for 2 weeks and am off work until December 2nd so I plan on sipping, walking and resting.

Please keep me in your prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

God bless.

~Susan.

Day one of pre-op diet begins today!! Sweet husband of mine just called on his way home from work wanting to know if I wanted Whataburger. Very funny man! Guess I'll go back to sleep with the smell of it testing me. Anybody know of bacon cheese burger sugar free Jello? Well sweet dreams and best of luck to all pre-op newbies and those who have having their surgery today. Stay warm and God bless!

Hey y'all.

My surgery was today and was it great. My surgeon was very pleased. I'll be in the hospital until Thursday. They are taking excellent care of me. So far the pain has been minimal. I am on a pain med pump, ice chips and Water. And, of course, up and walking.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with everyone here. Please keep me in yours as well for a successful an speedy recovery.

Getting sleepy. Will update tomorrow.

~Susan.

      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.
