Nope, I was home by 4PM. The only speedbump was I couldn't void. He made me go out to the ER to be cathed that night at 9PM. Then I was fine. He was upset the nurse let me go home w/o voiding. I have been on mushies this week. Doing fine. Losing slow. Only 5 lbs since surg. Grrr. Still swelling in tummy area on port side. PA says it will go down soon. Bruising almost gone. Starting to ecercise again...

I really noticed everyone's weight loss as well! Can't wait to do it again next month. Anyone up for a challenge? My co-worker and I challenged each other to have no sweets for a whole week! She has a little baby weight to lose and I still have lots of weight to lose, so we thought we'd see what a difference cutting something unhealthy out would make. We'll see. If it works, I will try to do it all them time, not just for a week. Anyone else want to give it a try? For all I know, I'm the only one here with a sweet tooth.

Hey Babbs & Kyethra! You guys really should join us for lunch sometime. We have lunch the first Monday of each month in Champaign. If you can make it over here, it would great to all get to know each other. It has been wonderful, I think, getting to share with other people who have gone through the same thing. Hope you will join us. On November 5th we will be meeting at Panera at Old Farm Shoppes in Champaign on the corner of Mattis and Kirby Avenues. See ya!

      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.
