My surgery is 25 Aug. I feel nervous and exciting.

I do not know what to expect at hospital I am looking forward to surgery but not all the BS that goes with it.

I guess i do not like hospitals or surgery just want it over.

My surgery is the 25 of august also, this is my second date as the first one July 14 someone between the Drs and health ins dropped the ball.

I just finished up day 2 of my liquid diet, I must say this time ( did 12 days of it before) is the hardest. I am so afraid that something will come up and I will have yet another set back.

It is the beginning of 2nd full day at home. I am napping often - trying to catch up on lost sleep but it sure feels great to be home. My mom came over yesterday and fixed my some puréed food

Non blonde moment - hit send too soon. I am very sore and very bruised. Going to hit Walmart today to get some walking in - too hot to walk outside. I know this surgery will help me reach my goals but I am the key to making it work. I am sure each day will get better. You are in my thoughts and prayers for those getting ready for surgery and continued healing and success for those who are post op.

Take a step back, is it gas pain or real pain from the surgery?

Is it better today? Try heating pad on your back and shoulder if it's pain from the gas. Keep walking. Follow your docs instructions and if it's bad call the ofc!

My surgery is August 25. I started my two week shakes this past Monday and threw it up violently. I was on it 3 days before my nut took me off. I am having to to south beach now.

What is everyone's opinion on 2-3 days before surgery if I try the shakes again throwing up or not?

I just don't want them to not do the surgery because my liver is too big.

Should I try again even if I continue to throw it up? That way I can shrink it?

I am one week post op. I am feeling pretty good but still have pain. I have a bruise the size a pancake on my left side. Not sure what it is from but it is there. I start meds for my gallbladder to prevent gallstones. Please do not think you will get any rest in the hospital - I got zero sleep. I begged to go home so I could at least get sleep. Just keep focused on why you are going through the procedure. Aren't moms the greatest - my mom came and purée food for me too. I know this sounds funny but I feel like I don't have a stomach. It does not feel empty nor does it feel full. I am trying to follow the guideline I was given on when I should do what. It is just weird.

Good luck to all those soon having surgery - you will do great.

      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.
