Hi Sandi in FL, Yes, I am also at Mi hospital. And the Marriott Hotel. Our paths will certainly cross there.

I look forward to meeting you.

stacyfae, I had my surgery on the 5th as well. I can't say I am struggling with the Protein Shakes, but I have been experiencing "head" hunger. At these times I have to find something else to do--walk a bit outside, watch a movie--stay away from commercial TV since there are so many food commercials, read a book, write in a journal. Our tummies need to heal. And unfortunately the reasons we are overweight do not go away with the surgery--it is going to be tough at times--we need to find new ways to deal with life. Keep on plugging away and you will overcome the wants --- onward to success!!

I had my surgery on 8/6 and my experience was nothing but awesome! God blessed me with the best surgeon, nurses, and hospital staff ever! The pain was minimal and I am still sore but totally worth it. I think the most pain came from the gas. I am recovering at home with the most supportive family which makes.my experience all the better. I would do this over in a heartbeat! Now just waiting out the slow but sure outcome!

Just got home from the hospital. A 5 night stay as opposed to the 2 day that was promised. Just wanted to update everyone who has wished me well. Speak to your surgeons about nausea and what can be done to avoid it.5 unbearable days in the hospital has me regretting this.

Best of luck to those of you heading towards the lovers bench...

      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.
