Doing good. I got to go home today! Not having any problems getting my Protein and Water in. I'm in pain but the meds help. I walk every 3 to 4 hours. I had my band removed and switched to bypass. So far I'm loving the bypass!

Great to hear Lisa and mkruit!

Lisa, I'm wondering how long your surgery was and how much more complicated it was because of the band removal. How long were you in the hospital?

I know we are all different but I'm having the same surgery done on Monday and so I'm nervous and wondering how it will all go and how long I'll be in the hospital, etc. Glad you are doing well!

Me' date=' too! Are you getting nervous? How's the liquid diet going? Here's to us and all the other December folks.[/quote']

I'm very nervous and very excited its a weird combo! Today was my pre op appt and my surgeon said I don't need the liquid diet until Friday so I figured if others can do 2 weeks I can handle 3 days!!! Good luck to you!!!

My surgery took an hour and a half and I don't think it was more complicated. I was the only one who had surgery thay day that was walking 3 hours after surgery. I only spent 1 night in the hospital. Good luck with yours. I already feel it was so worth it, even with the pain.

      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.
