I am finally home! I could have been released yesterday but because of the pain I decided to stay an extra day. Everything is going well! Sipping and walking are taking up most of my time!

I'm glad you are doing better how about that sipping and walking sounds like too much fun for my tast

I'm new to here and i'm so excited that i've got my surgery date of Sept 26th at 8am!! I did my blood work and chest x-ray yesterday. Monday I see the dietician to get everything set for the week of my liquid diet .

I first started this journey by going to a seminar on May 14th and can't believe my surgery day is almost here. Of course I researched about the surgery for about 2 years before so its been a long road with a light at the tunnel :)

Surgery Monday af 930am...very nervous about if i did my week long liquid diet correctly..... Everything i ate was (with the help of my "Ninja", was smooth and watery like instant potatoes) broth and Protein shakes.. No solids or soda at all... But just to be on the safe side, i am doing Clear Liquids Saturday and Sunday.. Excited and nervous, i am so happy that my husband and kiddos are so supportive..

I felt the same exact way!! I thought i would be eating a ton but my diet pepsi i miss dearly! I dont think i have as much as an emotional attatchment to food as most. My issue is not eating all day then eating a huge meal for dinner.< /p>

Welcome Kimmy you are the day after me we will be recovering together! I will add you to our list

Lexi so glad you made it through! I was one of those people that put off the WLS for years because of my diet pepsi addiction! Then my know it all (always right to ) daughter made me quit soda 2 years ago. I was having god awful pains in my legs that no doctor could figure out why. 2 weeks after i stopped drinking any soda and replaced it with Water those pains went away and they only come back if I drink a diet pepsi more then 2 in a week. so I usually just dont drink any soda at all. thats one hurdle I already crossed in this new way of life. now for caffeine!

      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.
