I am not even two months post op yet and I am feeling so, so much more like my old self!!! I feel wonderful. I have taken so much wt off my knees and yesterday I was able to do some heavy housework and have been working in my yard, and cooking and being the wonderful wife I used to be, as well as riding my Airdyne for 30 minutes. It feels AWESOME!!! I, like others, wondered the first 10 days what on earth I had done.....I had some depression but worked through it and stayed on course. I followed my doctors plan and still do, exactly what the team told me to do and I have had no dumping, no pain, and knock on wood, no stalls. I feel, already like I am in a different body. Before surgery , a sz 2X was tight on me, and I was so uncomfortable in my clothes. Now a 1X is loose and comfy. I just want those who feel so uncertain to know good things are ahead, Stay the course, keep your eye on the prize. Read my previous post..."what I have lost and what I have gained"...wishing you the best.....

      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.
