So far so good. I have 2 drains and the pain is pretty well controlled on morphine pump. I have waked aleady. I got to my room last night around 7. My surgery was at noon. We will see how it is when they stop the pump. I have not seen my incision yet but I will when the doc comes in.

I'm doing pretty well. I'm able to get up and move, through not without discomfort. The Norco is doing a decent job with my pain. sleeping in a recliner is not too bad. I was pretty comfortable. We will see how day two goes.

Ok day three in the books. Much less pain today. I'm down to taking a 1/2 of a 10/325 norco for pain. A whole one makes me sleepy. Walking is better today too. Still bent over but better. My back is sore from walking hunched over and most of the other pain is burning from the Lipo. My breasts don't hurt at all.

No, no insurance. I tried really hard, but they wouldn't after 4 appeals. I am doing really well. Minimal pain and moving around almost normally. Still not much stamina and slow, but I think pretty good for 9 days out!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
