I just wanted to check in. Surgery went perfectly. They found a small hernia and were able to fix it. I wasn't able to walk last night as every time I sat up' date=' I threw up. I feel much better this morning and am hoping for a better day. I go for my upper G I in about an hour.[/quote']
Everyone' date=' I have named our Post op group to "May 2013 POST OP GROUP" so all our post op patients can start letting us know how they are doing. This way here we can connect on our surgiversary easy with the year noted. But of course we still love to see you posting on our May surgeries also :-) post away on both! Hope all is well with our surgery patients today.

Surgery date: May 14, 2013[/quote']

Best of luck and good health to all who are making this big life change. And it is our overall health improvement as to why we are doing this (and of course it doesn't hurt our self esteem either). My May date is the 24th and I am very ready. I'm ready to hopefully relieve some of my back and feet pain. I'm ready to run (or walk briskly) after my 2 year old and not be tired and out of breath. And most of all, I'm ready to start living again!

May 14th for me, @ Cleveland Clinic. I to have begin to get nervous and wonder if I am doing the right thing, but then that passes quickly as soon as something reminds me of what I have to gain. Good luck all :-)

I can't believe it's May already! I'm in the same boat as you, just a bit scared. I've jumped through a lot of hoops to get this far and the alternative to not having this surgery is the continuation of my health and lifestyle on a downward trajectory. Weigh the pros against the cons and you'll see that you're doing the right thing :)

      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.
