Welcome to the family Tank! I'm a fellow 5' 9" and a fellow Californian. First two or three weeks after the surgery can be uncomfortable but it will indeed pass quickly. In no time it will be nothing but a distant memory and you'll be celebrating your decision every day! Kind of like child birth (from what I've been told)! LOL! Stop by often and share your journey with us! This is the most amazing group of folks you could ever hope for and every single one us is on the same journey!

Not necessarily a bad thing! Never did care for those "skinny" cheerleader-types. I always felt like they would break or something! Lol

Plus Tammy the Tank is kinda hot! Woulda sounded like a challenge. We all know men and women alike love a challenge!! Lol

Haha Tammy the tank! I wouldn't mind being called that now,, thanks

Welcome, Tank. It's gets easier as days good bye. I had my surgery on July 10th and I can just now sleep on my stomach. Just keep on walking and you will keep on healing, I'm walking 4 miles a day again, and I'm feeling great. May God Bless you on this long journey. Just remind yourself your on a liquid diet so of course your energy level is low:(

Thanks so much! Today I don't have much of an appetite for anything so I'm forcing myself to get some calories in.

      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.
