Butter, you are already looking good, can't wait to see some pics when you are all healed up. My sister just had one on Tuesday, she said it wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be, hope you have a speedy recovery time.

Bean,

Hadn't talked to you in a while. I got a new job and moved to the raleigh area of NC. Congrats on the surgery!!! You looking good Brother, How long did you lay on the couch before you came up with the cat bite the drain line? was that before or after the second dose of morphine? Joking aside you look great and I am so proud of you. It sounds like recovery time is quite a bit longerr than the origional VSG surgery. I know you are missing your running. I have been running a couple of months and the spare tire bouncing is not very comfortable at all in the tshirt. Does the spanx/compression help with this? Again congrats and I'll keep in touch.

Hey. Thanks. Everything is going well. Raleigh is a beautiful area. You're lucky. I've got one drain left and the cat just won't bite it.....I wish he would. It should come out Wednesday regardless.

And yes....I ran in one of these. And while I didn't love it....it made running a heck of alot easier.

Day 16 post op.....had my follow up visit with the doc today. Everything is going well. He took out the last drain thankfully. They are pleased with how little swelling I have...so am I. It's gonna be at least 5 more weeks before I can get back to exercise....and sitting around is no doubt the hardest part. But it's all so worth it. Finally I can see the results from all the hard work I've done. It's amazing the difference in my self image...looking in the mirror and actually seeing abdominal muscles for the first time in my life is priceless.

      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.
