Well I'm home! Surgery went fine. Minimal pain just can't get my oxygen up. I was discharged Friday 22nd (surgery 2/20) and literally at the front door when I got very dizzy and they ended up readmitting me for a day. I was sent home on oxygen this time. So no other complications. Just plugging thru the normal healing pain. Blessings to those having surgery this week. Count me ON THE LOSING SIDE!!!

Glad you swooned before leaving the hospital and not when you were home on your own or something! Here's to a speedy recovery!

I just realized looking at my ticker I'm 80 pounds from goal...that sounds so much better tan 101!!!!

Yaaaaay!!!!! Congrats!

Do ya'll think someone is trying to tell me not to have this surgery? Got up this morning and there is 2 inchs of snow, weather advisory. I have congestion in my bronchial tubes, so doubled up on my Keflex. Does anyone know if this will hurt me? Schools are closed, county offices, airport closed. Having to drive to Dallas.

Let me know your thoughts, we are leaving in 30 minutes with extra blankets and lots of prayers.

Thank you, I'm so nervous and anxious, I'm waiting for the surgeon to call for my surgery time. I can't believe that this is really happening.

      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.
