Hey Gaffer how's that special room you booked ? Hope it's nice.

It's not so much that it was a special room that I booked, just a special rate for Valentine's day.

Other than that the hotel if fine for what we need it for.

Hey guys! I made it to the "other" side!! I feel fine except for the upper gas discomfort. Gas X is amazing! You can't neccesarily OD on that can you?? I also have some neck and shoulder discomfort but no pain at the sites so far.

Thank you all for yur kind words, well wishes and support. I have started my journey and it just seems all so surreal right now. Talk to ya guys later.

Hey Gang,

Just checkin in after my surgery. Things are going pretty well, and I am up a walking around, Gas pain has not been too bad, mostly like a muscle ache. Dr. C also had to fix a hernia while he was in there so he said that will contribute to the pain. 3 of the 4 patients he did yesterday had to have heria repairs

Becca, I did not get a chance to see you at the clinic yesterday, you were in recovery while i was in being preped.

Thanks for the support guys.

Yes Andrew, I suspected I was in lala land while you were there. Glad to hear you're doing well.

I am pretty sure you were in lala land. I remember hearing the nurse telling you that you had to brethe.

I gotta say that I found all the staff there to be really good, and the Dr. who did the anestesia was excellent.

Andrew congrats on the successful surgery! You and Becca both sound like you are doing fine. Good to hear. :)

I am almost 6 days out and I am feeling really well. Probably could have gone back to work but hey the time is covered so oh well. :girl_hug: So happy about the idea of taking off the strips this weekend. They are a little itchy. My skin is really sensitive so the strips leave itchy red marks. Yuck! Other than that just some minor pains here and there when I move in certain ways but that's about it.

Again Becca and Andrew congrats. Hope you are both heal up fast and well. :girl_hug:

      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.
