Today marks six weeks since my surgery. Over all I feel good. I have lost 36.8 lbs so far and while I don't see it when I look in the mirror, I do feel it in my clothes. I have been off work since my surgery. Tomorrow I go back to the office where everyone knows I have been gone, but only a couple people know what exactly happened. I'm a little nervous. I'm afraid of getting sick at work, or forgetting to get in all my fluids (still something I have to pay close attention to), and i'm sure I'll get questions that I will have to respond to politely while still not disclosing a lot of info. I know I'll be just fine after tomorrow, just wanted to vent and release the jitters. Hope you all are having a fantastic day!

Good luck at work. I'm gonna suck up a little bit more of this unemployment before I go back. My job fired me for some BS cuz they got wind of my surgery and I was gonna be off. They didn't want to switch around my classes or find a different instructor for a few weeks. Jokes on them I'm getting paid to recover

I think having the time off to get used to the new lifestyle is a huge help. Sorry to hear how your job treated you!

      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.
