It doesn't seem like 4wks ago I had my surgery. No nausea, gas, pain, or anything I was told to expect. Eating with ease...still a challenge on getting all my Proteins down but I manage.Cravings went from a 10 to a 1. 27lbs lost so far. Absolutely the best decision I could have made. No regrets. Looking forward to months ahead. Very grateful for a smooth process.

Congratulations on your success!!

Honestly, I wouldn't consider it pain just a little discomfort. I often had to remind myself and still do just how major my surgery was. Like I said considering a lot I've heard and read, Im truly blessed to have literally have "NO" complications.

      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.
