Yesterday my husband and I took a day trip to LBI. We walked a mile on the beach. Walked around Bay village and fantasy island. Then we climbed the Barnegat light house. I did all of this with no back or joint pain. Awesome non scale victory for me. Especially since the scale has not moved all week.

I had surgery on Thursday. Discharged from the hospital on Saturday. Pain is tolerable. Trying to get all my fluids in. SF Popsicles have been my savior. Tolerated 2- 4oz of Protein Shake and 4 oz of Protein Jello made with unflavored Unjury. Only 16 oz of Water all day and lots of Popsicles.

I didn't have a PCP either so my gyn wrote my letter of necessity. I'm sure your OB can. But you should also find a PCP to see regularly after the surgery, just a thought. Not sleeved yet; waiting for 6/24!

. As it turned out, I didn't need a letter from my primary.. I agree with the others, go to the seminar and 1st appt. they will send you to the next step..

      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.
