Awesome! I hope you get there! My wedding dress was size 6, but the sizes are different. I weighed 112 and my clothes was size 4. My wedding ring hasn't fit for about 10 years now. Forget a new ring, I want this surgery!

I am 4 days post op and I am sad to say the gas pain for me was a living he!! I looked at my surgeon with tears in my eyes like I had failed because of the nasty gas pain. They took x rays and found a lof of gas has shifted over to my left breast and that was the big deal.

It's so nice to see others not have pain. But it wasn't me : (. As of today day 4 post op my tummy feels like Jello inside. I keep a pillow close by the slight pressure adds comfort. The gas ... Gads I hope it's gone : )

We are all so different going thru this journey to be healthy for ourselves and to be active in society again. We all ROCK!

:unsure: Alrighty then' date=' wow that just made my heart skip a beat!!![/quote']

I still don't know what to think of it but I do know that they have no idea what caused it. I felt fine. Didn't even know I had any problems till cardio doc came in later that day to tell me. Heck they didn't even call my husband about it. So with all that I will follow up but for now I think it was a fluke.

It's just nice we can share our experiences and then go to have our own. Don't worry things will turn out beautiful inside and out in the long run : )

      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.
