Am 3 days post op and so far I am doing great. After my surgery I had a massive gas bubble sitting in my chest and it hurt. So I walked and walked and walked some more. Then on day 2 it moved down. I am starting my shakes today. I have not hurt to much since Ive been home I only stayed overnight at the hospital. I have never been one to use pain meds but I had had to use it 2 times since being at home.

Start weight was 458

Before surgery was 442

I am gonna weight myself once a month I don't want to be worried about it all the time. My husband and mother and my many many supporters have been so great to me and I can't wait till I can go work out I have 14 days off and just been walking 30 mins a day starting off. Getting there slowly !

      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.
