My doctor told me I didnt need to but I think I will starting Monday as I have gained about 5 pounds since I went to the doctors last. I am so excited! I started this process in September of last yr. I planned on working right up til the day before, but now I am thinking getting my nails done and a pedicure sounds much better and may take the afternoon off so I can do that and be home with my hubby and kids that evening and spend it with them :) If you have Facebook you can add me stacy huff bobian

Sorry, I just saw this!

I'm not going to sugar coat. Surgery was rough. I was nauseous and in a lot of pain. These past weeks have been rough and I don't get my Protein in. I've got the Water down, but I still experience a lot of nausea for no apparent reason. I actually had to call my doctor today because I've been nauseous since I woke up and have only been able to choke down about 15g of Protein today. He said to wait it out, drink as much Water as I can, go to the ER if there is pain and call in the morning.

WLS is not an easy thing. For me, it's been very difficult and emotionally trying. Still, I don't regret my decision. My doctor says I will have days like this, where I just feel awful. I know it will get better and I just have to keep on keepin' on.

      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.
