I had my surgery on September 25, and couldn't be more pleased with how things have gone so far. I've been reading posts on this forum forever to prepare myself for the good, the bad, and the ugly, and really tried to prepare myself for a tough journey, but I have been so blessed! I had minimal pain after surgery, and will be going back to work (two jobs) on Monday. Once I got home, I didn't have any problems getting fluids in. I realize that so many people struggle getting in fluids in, but just wanted to let people are thinking of having this surgery that sometimes things aren't so bad. It's definitely a huge adjustment, but even two weeks of the post-op liquid diet isn't so bad. I know that things could change at any moment, but I'm so grateful for how this journey has gone so far. Can't wait for the weight to start coming off so I can begin my new life. Would love to hear from other September surgeries! Thanks to all on this board for all of the information and hints. The docs and nutritionists can only prepare you so much, but there's nothing like hearing from someone who's been there. Wishing everyone good luck on their healthy journeys!

      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?

      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.
