Hello. I had my surgery yesterday @ 9:00am. Have been in quite a bit of pain since I woke up. They have been giving me diludad about every 2 hours. Seems to help pretty quickly but starts wearing off after about an hour & 30 min. I got up & started walking about 2 hours after I got in my room. Try to walk right after each pain shot b4 falling back asleep. I'll update u all soon. Going to try resting a lil bit :) xoxo

My surgery is Next Wednesday and have been on the 3 Protein Shakes a day and 2 Lean Cuisines and all the non starchy vegies I can eat.. .. It seems to be going ok.

I know my body went thru a little bit of shock since my caloric intake dropped almost a 1000 calories a day. Cannot wait for the surgery.. A little nervous,, but also excited..

Is there anyone else having there surgery on April 16th

Okay, tomorrow morning is my date. Getting everything prepared. I stayed exactly to the liquid diet and I've lost 18 lbs in two weeks. It was not easy. I'm excited (sort of), a bit nervous, and I just want to get it over with. It has taken so long for me to get to this point. Glad for this forum. Best of luck to all of you.

Here's hoping that all of you awaiting surgery in April have easy pre-op diets, no stress, and feelings of excitement! I came home from the hospital today after surgery Monday, and I feel much better than I thought I would! I know I have a long way to go, but so far things have gone well. Praying for all of you as your dates arrive!

      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.
