First official "after" post! I made it through surgery. I was told it was a total success. After surgery not so much..(but this is me-everyone is different) I had a hard time waking up, and when I did I hurt! (They were with holding some of the pain killers until I came out of the anesthisa well) Left side is the achey side, either from where they take the stomach out or the drain. Right side incicion has been bleeding heavily. They are sort of concerned, but no panic buttons being hit yet. ( I am on blood thinners for life. While I discontinued before surgery it could be effecting it) I have been up to the potty and to walk a couple times, so most gas pain is minimal. Just taking it moment by moment with my new best friends-ice chips! LOL In the end this will all be a memory and I will be so glad I endured it.

      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.
