You ladies are doing GREAT!! I don't own a scale so I will have to give my weight after getting my drain tube out tomorrow. Today was the first day I've felt ok. Just ok. Lol. I still have to take my pain meds but I didn't feel like death warmed over. I actually was able to straighten up a little and cook dinner for my family. Now I am going to lay back and relax. I have someone coming to the house to give me a pedicure at 5pm and I can't wait!! I soooo need this but can't get to the shop.

Prayers for you preemie mommy. I sure hope all is well. I saw dr today. My dr did a hand assist and originally I saw a large bruise. Yesterday morning the area turned an angry red it was hot. And I worried about infection. The dr took one look and said bruise. I was relieved. I'm so glad I went to see the dr though. Better safe than sorry. I love my dr. He is chief resident surgeon at Good Sam and has the best bedside manner. Dr Kerlakian you are the BEST.

Hi ladies, doing well. They thought a possible blood clot. They gave me an ultra sound on my legs and chest ct. All turned out negative. I had shortness of breath and calves hurt. They chalked it up to dehydration. So everyone, sip sip sip. Thanks for the prayers!

      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.
