Hi Angel! Overall I am feeling very good as far a the surgery went. No pain and just trying to g et on this schedule for stage 1 food. The only major problem I have is severe knee pain. It was so bad yesterday I went to the emergency room, as I was afraid of blood cloths. Very swollen and painful. Go news, no clots, Just a bad case of arthritis. I have been off those pain meds for my knee for 2 weeks and the pain finally kicked in yesterday. I just have to handle it till my meds come back.

Just hang in there and it will get better. Time is on our side in our journey! Please keep me posted and I hope you start feeling better soon,

So sorry to hear if the problems with your knees. Very good news that it wasn't blood clots! I'm trying to get organized with the meds and foods too. Discovered yesterday that milk (cow) is probably not going to be my friend. Lol I'm tolerating soy milk very well though. But all the meds and supplements are a bit overwhelming to get timed correctly. Nexium, Colace, Multivitamin, citrical, B12 and pain meds. Phew! Feel like I'm running my own personal pharmacy. Lol!

Updates for us two week out people? I am doing well, some little issue with wound care but that is coming along. Thrush is subsiding. Constipation is the issue of the day, any ideas how to remedy this? Down 27 lbs!

      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.
