The first visit was two days after surgery. Imma big baby and couldn't handle the pain (when is the last time you heard a man keep it real like that? Lol). Stayed 4-nights then went home for 3-days. Then I had the endoscopy because my pouch closed on me. Stayed 2-days then home for a week. Finally I was puking so bad that I couldn't keep Water down! Dehydration, yadda yadda yadda equaled another week in the hospital. Finally I'm feeling good and have been lifting like crazy!! I lost 8-inches from my waist, 11-inches from my tummy and added 5-inches of muscle to my already muscular arms!! I feel great!!!

Ok here's a picture of me from today at the Raiders game. No I'm not the gorilla, I'm the rather "happy" black guy next to him. And before anyone asks, yes I had a margarita. I didn't dump and didn't get drunk. In fact I only drank half!! Lol

      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.
