I am feeling much better! I had a lot of gas pain but that is gone now. Just some soreness around my incisions. I'm trying to work my way up to walking longer' date=' but I start feeling a little faint. I think it's lack of calories due to the Clear Liquids. I had my one week follow up today and have been released to soft foods so I just made my grocery list lol. I have lost 13lbs since surgery so I am very happy![/quote']

That's good. I'm sure when you start eating you will feel a lot better, and have at least a little more energy hopefully. Dang 13 lbs that's great! I'm happy for you keep it up. I'm glad your doing good and its good to know your very happy. You made a good healthy life changing desistion. Best of luck in everything. Keep me posted on your wonderful new journey. Take care.

Yes Tuesday is coming fast. It is normal to be nervous, see it as taking a nap not dead. When you wake up you will be the same person but with a new tool. Take care don't lose faith God is always watching.

Good deal. I am starting a high Protein diet tomorrow one week in advance of my 3 month completion of the supervised diet. I really hope we can get the insurance approval quickly.

      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.
