I had mine done at Lennox hill hospital in manhattan. I guess I wasn't excepting pain or whatever cause it's totally thrown me how much this hurt. You've got to mentally prepare yourself. Also I have nasuea and vomiting from the anesthesia so that was painful. Back home now and do better. Just trying to get all my Water and Protein in between my massive naps (walking up and down the hall takes it out of me). Oh also they don't always tell you but the surgery causes a lot of gas to build up in your stomach and then releases over the next few days and can feel painful.

What's it like a year out?

At this point it's amazing and challenging at the same time..

Let me explain ; I can now fit a size 5/6 jeans instead of an 18/19 and 20 sometimes , I am very confident more than ever but still remain humble , I get all types if compliment from both people I know and don't know .... I feel Great , look great and I'm completing loving the new me

The challenges : I still have a mind set that I'm a "Big Girl "even though I know I'm physically not big no where, it's a challenge to try to now maintain this image that the world puts on you but I just try to be myself , I get scare like every one else of gaining too much weight so I maintain being focused buttttt you may slip feeling so great and now realizing that it's been 3months since you've worked out lol

Bottom line is it's hard but worth it girl you'll look great and feel great just stay on top of it but don't get excessive and lastly don't be afraid to ask for help!!!

Good luck!!!

I had my surgery on April 28th at Westchester Medical Center. I had a pretty good time of it. My doctor did find a hernia but he repaired it and my recovery has been pretty classic. I was on pain meds until May 4 and now I need nothing for pain. I have begun to hate my Protein Shakes so I made some homemade Soups and I blend until smooth and add unflavored Unjury Protein Powder to. I made potato Soup and broccoli soup. No sodium, no fat broth, seasonings and blend, delish!! Any questions, just ask. My next doctors appointment is May 13 and I am looking forward to the weigh in!

I am feeling great. I returned to work today and am a little tired but not any more than usual. Doctor took two of meds away and my blood pressure was 107/71! I am now on stage two diet and enjoying my new life. Got a lot of complements at work today and my boss had a beautiful bouquet of flowers on my desk when I arrived this morning. It's so nice to be appreciated.

      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.
