Hi Rach! Welcome! I don't have any pics yet, but I'm two weeks post op today. The last time I weighed was at my two-week pre-op appt (so four weeks ago) and since then I have lost 31lb.

My hospital stay was two days and I was able to start walking about 8 hours after surgery. I was in a lot of gas pain when I woke up and my belly seemed to be pulling on my incisions. I told the nurse ad she got me an abdominal binder which helped A LOT! I'm still wearing it now, actually.

I'm still sore, tough to bend, sit down and stand up but otherwise doing well. I started puréed foods today and the few things I've tried have all gone down just fine. Heading back to work tomorrow!

If you have any questions along the way, feel free to MSG me. Good luck!

      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.
