Good luck to everyone! We are ALL going to do amazing things and accomplish so much after this month!!

Cheers to a new healthy lighter version of all of us!

I feel like I can't stop grinning I am so excited :) A woman I know just came back after having been out for the survery and she already looks fabulous. Her clothes are hanging off of her and she is talking about how much energy she has. She has been fighting a lot of nausea but even she says she still is glad she did it. I can't believe that Friday is the day!!!!! So super smiley!

I know it's all so exciting isn't it?? Please pray for me. I'll more than likely be on my period during surgery which is bummer but I can deal with that....but my daughter just came down with strep throat so I'm praying I don't come down with it or you know they'll cancel surgery!

Hey ladies. Everything went great yesterday. No gas pains but it feels like I did one too many crunches. Today I do the leak test and start on liquids! I ended up started my period just like I thought but it was AFTER surgery and not before. So praise God.

Hello, All! Things are going very well over here. Back home, very little discomfort, all in all, things are good! That said, I am already fighting head hunger. Sigh.... Good news, though, dropped weight already :) so I keep window shopping online and stay focused on that :) How are you all?

Hey Lia. I'm doing well also. I didn't lose my hunger either but I'm completely terrified of damaging my new stomach that I'm just sipping slowly on liquids. I'm doing well! Glad to hear you are as well. Cheers to a new life!

Just checking in. I'm doing great. No pain. My incisions are almost healed. Just moved to pureed food and everything is going great. I've had a couple of times I ate a little too fast and everything felt heavy for a few hours. My hunger is really not there as long as I am feeding my body every 3 hours and getting my fluids in.

That's great. I get to start on soft foods Friday and I can't wait. Been on all liquids for 3 weeks now including the 2 weeks pre op. I am over it! Lol. All my incisions have healed over except that main one where they took the stomach out of. It's been oozing for a few days.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site . I had surgery on April 2nd. I'm in Fort Worth, TX. Would love to have some fellow members to go through this journey with. I started at 271 lbs and am now 241 so I am down 30 lbs since preop. I am getting a little impatient. I just want to be at my goal weight already. How much are you all eating at this point? How many calories a day? My goal is about 800 calories a day. But I am starting to get tired of eating the same stuff. I need some new food ideas. Also how much exercising is everyone getting in?

      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.
