My first appointment was the 2nd week in May, so my process has gone rather quickly!

Best to you!

Everything went great during my surgery. Stayed in the hospital for two days and nights. No major pain, only dry heaves on the way home that caused us to pull off of the highway four times.

How is everyone else doing?

My surgery went very well also. Stayed in the hospital 2 nights.

Last night I wasn't feeling very well at all, but I'm doing better this morning.

I'm having some trouble taking my pain pill. I think I'll break it into smaller pieces next time.

One thing that I was surprised about is how swollen and bruised my stomach is. Rolling over in bed causes me quite a bit of pain.

Came home from the hospital 7 lbs heavier than I went in. But hopefully I'll get down to my surgery weight this week.

Thinking of all of you!

I actually had to sleep on the couch last night so I wouldn't roll over in my incisions. I keep getting my pain pill stuck in the back of my throat and have to work getting it out.

The best thing I heard was the other day when my doctor said that if you don't go home 10-15 pounds heavier than when you went in we aren't doing our job properly. Total in all I gained about 10, maybe a little more. But it feels good to finally be on the losers 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.
