Hi shemmy... it was a shock to get this date..since I just seen the nurse practioner yesterday and the approval was still pending and my next appointments wouldn't be until dec ..I feel like I'm in a dream my cw is 311.. I hope this surgery will help..where are you having yours done..also I like this site since I only told 1 close friend I don't have a lot of support ..kids don't even know..don't want my siblings to find out..that's a whole different story in itself.. wishing you well

Jessica, I haven't told many ppl either, however I did tell my children. I really love this site because it provides a lot of good info. Its good to talk to ppl who are going through the same thing. My surgery will be done in San Antonio.

Hi family. Sorry it took so long to check back in. Im doing okay. I have pain at my incision sites and my surgery was longer than expected because I had a sliding hernia on my esophagus. :( the anesthesia took a long time to leave my system. But the nurses said I was leaving tracks on the floor from walking so. I came home last night. It's a struggle to get in all these fluids. But I'm trying! My husband has been great taking care of me.

I hope everyone had smooth surgeries and recoveries for yesterday and today.

I hear u girl.. having issues with my fluids as well best of luck to u:)

Karma' date=' the chicken broth tasted like heaven to me LOL

Worm, I'm at West Penn hospital, so far so good, just saw Dr Gagne again, he said I'm good too go home today, but because I live in Erie, he wants me to stay til tomorrow and get as hydrated as I can. I'm ok with that, especially since now that I survived, this is my vacation LOL I'm sleeping great, no laundry, no cooking, no chasing kids, no diapers.....yeah, I'm ok with another day LOL[/quote']

Congrats. I am at home now since yesterday trying to get in all my fluids. The broth was good at the hospital!

      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.
