I had my surgery yesterday around 2:00pm. I have done really well! Praise God! I had it worked up to so much more than it has been thus far. My pain has been around a 1 or a 2 all night. Walked last night around 8:30. My doctor says its possible may go home today. I will write more later.

Wonderful news!!! Looking forward to hearing more about the beginnings of you new journey! God Bless!

Losers Bench. Pain isn't that bad. Didnt use pain meds last night. Feels like I did 200 crunches. About to walk. I'm ready for ice chips!

Very well put! A lot of crunches.. Now if the gas bubbles would go away!

Still sitting in pre-op. My surgeon must have gotten stuck in her first surgery. Soooooo sleepy and ready to get this done.

I hope everything went well. I imagine since no update your procedure wasn't postponed again. :-)

I don't know about anyone else, but I can hardly do any work these days. All I can focus on is this journey! Mentally I'm already on leave...

So as of today I have been on a liver shrink diet since May 20. I was only suppose to be on it two weeks but when they switched my surgery' date=' surgeon, and date I have to do it even longer. This week I found out I lost 10lbs and I did really well but the last two days for whatever reason I've blown my diet way out. Both days I've wen over about 500 calories... I've got to get back on track and keep losing this weight. Meeting my surgeon tomorrow. Two more weeks of this diet. Craving more then chicken and shakes.[/quote']

Try doing nothing but shakes for a month. :( I have six more days to go. My husband accused me of watching porn... I was watching the food network last night with my eyes glazed over. Lol

If I can make it thru the next six days that will be 30 days on liquids. I cam do anything!

The nurse called me to pre register me f or surgery. I'm so excited. I have a 1000 calorie diet 7 days before surgery and a bowel prep the day before. Not lookibg foward to that. I did buy a goal outfit today too. Its a size 12. It was on clearance. I'm going to use it to keep me focused!

I did that! I got two JCP coupons and although I'm a while away from surgery I got three XL shirts and two pairs of jeans (12 & 14) all for $3 after my coupons. I'm going to do that every time so I have a bunch of clothes in different sizes. Best way to save money and avoid thrift shops. Nothing against thrift shops at all but when I'm down so many pounds I want cute new clothes!

      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.
