Awesome. It will be cool to know there are others in my shoes at the exact moment, I will think of you guys and for a speedy recovery. I have been less hungry than when I started but the craving for meat is hard. I just want to eat big chunks of meat. Weird since I spent my childhood as a vegetarian.

You all will be amazed after surgery. Been home for 24 hours, watching the food channel, looks good but not hungry, no craving, no head hunger and I've lost two pounds since weigh in on surgery day. Didn't gain a thing from all the liquid they hung. Good luck to all of you. Wishing you all a speedy recovery.

Thank you, they couldn't believe how well I was doing. Never complained, used the call button twice, but they were checking on me every two hours. Thank goodness the pain med, which I used about every two hours, I would wake up just before the nurses would come in. I walked, they didn't even push me to get out of bed, it was when I was ready. Walked the hall twice and sit in a chair until I thought I would upchuck, first call button. Second time down the hall the next day, all was great. Doctor said everything was great and I went from him telling I'd be in the hospital two to three days to release in less than 24 hours after surgery. Not bad for an old chicken. Yesterday was pretty painful, but did some bending to pick things up, but I tolerated it. Will say I am taking my pain meds, which even after lapband I only used for two days. Good side of this revision was I didn't have very much scar tissue from the lapband. Someone above was on my side. Since I have CHF they had a little trouble controlling my blood pressure, but even ended up one DC'd, plus all my cholesterol medications, and metformin. I am taking 1/2 unit of insulin per hour (I have an insulin pump) and my blood sugars are within normal range. This is a shocker also because when the body is under stress like this you don't have to eat and the blood sugars sky rocket. So think this is going to accomplish what needs to be done and hopefully will live to be a hundred. Thank you all for the suppoprt.

      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.
