Not gonna lie...everyone that said they felt great can take a flying leap...I was violently ill and in indescribable pain for 7 hours...I am much better today but yeah...I was in tears and I'm very tough. That was just my experience and I'm sure that's rare...but I'm grateful it's over

Thanks for the heads up!! It's nice to know and what to expect!

Day 3 is a massive improvement :) happy girl today! My biggest piece of advise...walk....every hour. No matter what. Wake up at night? Take a lap. Bored of what's on tv? Take a lap. Much better because of it today.

My tummy growls when I drink and it settles down. It might be too much air. When u sip, push out air from ur lungs when u swallow...might help...

So my boss just called and said that she will not approve for me to have the week of the 25th off. I need to wait until the following week' date=' to schedule my surgery. What a bummer! I really thought that it would happen in March. Oh we'll, I guess one more week doesn't really matter but she makes me mad! I want it done as soon as I can not when she says its ok. I guess if I want my job I will do as she says though. Ugh. So now I need to join the April dates. Sorry.[/quote']

My boss did the same thing to me!!.. I was SOoo upset!!.. I couldn't believe I waited so long to get a date and then I couldn't go :(.. Original day march 4th... New date March 25!!

      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.
