Just wondering how your surgery went today? I got to come home today about 2:00! My blood pressure was up but other than that nothing crazy! I was wanting to eat something solid but can't for 3 weeks!!' I'm sure this will get easier as I go along! Hope yours went ok too!!

My surgery went great. My mom and I had it done. She had some breathing issues and what looked like bronchitis. But we are both doing great and heading to the hotel today!

Kayla just checking to see if you and your mom made it home safely. I don't think I would have been quite ready to fly on Saturday but I'm sure it wasn't so bad. Hopefully you had someone to help you with your luggage. Also I wandered if y'all were able to carry your Protein Drinks through security!! You will have to fill me in. I am already feeling bored with the drinks myself and I have been at home this whole time. It has been hard for me to get over 500 calories a day. Hope all is going well for y'all!! --- Lana

      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.
