I see your weight is dropping soccer mom! Good for you. How are ya feeling?

In a word? Grumpy :) this too shall pass!!! I was actually whining earlier because I lost 3 pounds the week I had surgery while watching others who have like 10+ lb losses during that same time frame. But again, 3 pounds gone is three pounds gone! Physically I'm good. Went to the grocery store today, exhausted by the time I got home but even with the walking, shopping, loading, unloading had no real pain, just a little stiffness (I only lifted a bag or two at a time). Ready to be back at work but my MD harassed me into taking off today and tomorrow so back to work Wednesday! Yay!!!! But I am moody!!!! Easy to tears, not feeling myself, not liking this part!!

Soo... I can rest assured I can go back to work relatively soon?! I took off 9 days, just hoping. Hormones must go whacko after this surgery. You have given a lot of insight and I appreciate it!

No major lifting or straining and no major complications I'd say yup (and your doc says so of course!!!). I am doing 1/2 days wed-thurs-fri....but I cannot imagine I won't be ready to roll next week. I think part of my 'blahs' today is just being home away from my co-workers and patients. As crazy as they make me some days, I love em all (mostly!!!).

Just found out that my paperwork is only getting submitted today to insurance. I'm really hoping that this doesn't change my surgery date again.

If it does I'll be pretty upset.

Just want to be on the losing side so bad.

Pre-op I only needed a 3 day liquid diet. Tomorrow is surgery :) but awful exhausted from lack of calories these past 3 days. Head feels a bit foggy. So glad my surgery was moved up to the morning from 2:45 in the afternoon! I now applaud all who did this pre-op diet for 2 weeks and I have no complaints for my 3 days!! Congrats to those who just went through and Carpe Diem to those going in this week!

      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.
