My drain was removed at one wk visit and they left me with a hole in my side they said it would heal but it's still draining. I am glad to have it removed. I know this might be a dumb question but what does HW mean? I know sw is surgery weight and cw is current weight just not sure of the other.

I understand HW means heaviest weight. This is likely what you weighed before the preop diet. Surgery weight is the weight you are once you complete the preop diet and head into surgery.

Ohhhh okay lol, I wasn't sure thank you. Your doing really well with the weight loss

Got home from the hospital yesterday. Just had some gas pain, but it wasn't to bad. Didn't sleep good at all in the hospital, turned out I was allergic to the detergent they use on their linens. So I am broke out all over the place. Other than that I am doing just fine. I am able to get all my fluids in.

That's crazy that you're hungry. I don't think I will ever be hungry again! I constantly feel full! I have to force myself to eat a couple bites of yogurt at mealtimes.

I literally have no hunger,in fact I have to set alarms to remind myself to eat!

I figured as much! I'm chewing the life out of sugar free gum and I am going to make ice cubes out of juice to get flavor and the crunch..

      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.
