How did the 5-19 club do? I am really still amazed at how well mine went. The best news is I went home off all diabetes meds and I was doing 4 shots a day. I pray that sticks that was one of the primary reasons I did this because of my health problems.

Well 7 days out.... Overall good.... But for some reason the surgery has brought my anxiety disease to the forefront.... I'm battling like crazy.... One weird feeling sends me into panic..... I sure hope this passes!

Hey Valentine.... I am glad your surgery went well. Sorry about the nerves. Try to stay calm and eat mild, non rich liquid. I had a really sweet chocolate concoction that made me sick for the first time so I was a little panicky. After the sickness passes I was back to myself but it would have been worse with real anxiety.

      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.
