I'm doing ok. I think I underestimated the post op discomfort and how immobile I'd be. I'm not used to being still and having people have to help me do everything, so that's an adjustment. I guess I was just excited and ready for the drastic weight loss part and looked right past the recovery phase lol

My surgeon is Dr. Richards also. So happy to hear from someone who has the same surgeon. Do you go to the support groups? I am glad to hear that your surgery went well.

I went to one (the required "one"). I didn't love it, but I also don't want to assume that they would all be the same. I may try another sometime.this month. Have you been to one?

I went to the required "one" also. I hated it. I was looking for a way to get out. Then I heard that Dr. Walfish has going to be at the next one, so I went. Did you see him? It was a really good meeting. After that one, I was hooked. I've been several other times. You should give it another chance. I feel not so alone after going to one. Maybe I will see you there.

      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.
