Thinking about everyone who's having surgery this week. I"m a week post op today and doing great. hardly any pain at all haven't used any meds since i left the hospital and already lost 14 lbs. Just try to concentrate on what's on the other side and how it's going to improve life for you. :)

I had my post op visit today and I am down 15 lbs! Feeling great! Still get tired but no pain Meds. I already feel good about my choice to improve my overall health! Good luck to everyone that has yet to go!

Well I made it through the surgery June 4th. I was in the hospital an extra day because I was so nauseous. Now that I am home I am able to keep Protein and Water down but I am so fatigue. Has anyone else felt that way and what did you do.

WOW Just 3 more days to go! I officially start my liquid diet tomorrow but I am prepping myself today by drinking my Protein and only eating a small amount for lunch. Lets just say I am not a big fan of Protein Drinks so I am going to have to get my game face on for a few months LOL I just cant stand the after taste. :unsure:

My 10 day countdown starts tomorrow. My pre-op is Thursday. I am more worried about the pre-op than the surgery. This will be my 7th surgery so I am not scared of being put under the anesthesia or anything like that. However all my surgeries have been on my back. So I am a little nervous about having an abdominal surgery. I could handle the pain of having my spine fused twice, I think I can do this.

      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.
