Who's at the pool today? It is a lovely day today. Thinking of taking a swim after I absorb some vit d. I'm almost 6 weeks postop. First time at the pool in a while!

How has the recovery been from the lower body lift? Lord knows my skin is bad enough to need on! Good for you for being able to have it done.

Recovery has been so easy...Surprising since I had built it up in my mind so much I was pretty scared, but it's been great, I have a great surgeon who told me I would not experience any pain, I thought he was just blowing smoke but he was right, when I asked how could this be? He told me it was how he handles the tissue, he said first of all he doesn't allow his patients to bleed, and secondly he is very gentle with the tissue, well it seems to have worked because the only time I felt any pain was during recovery at the hotel I was staying in and I was watching a rerun of a old friends episode and I started laughing...not a good thing after your stomach muscles have been resewn together! I pretty much am back to my ole self...I traveled to Mexico, where I had a wonderful surgeon, board certified, and also a micro-surgeon so my incisions were great and the price was very affordable too...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
