I'm just hoping I don't walk into pre surgery admitting declaring that I am declining the surgery.

I used to love writing so maybe I could start writing again. I also enjoyed running 5K's @@Beni is there anything that you liked doing that you don't do anymore.

Fun fact: someone did walk out of surgery last week, not sure if you saw the posts layknee.

What did I enjoy before weight gain? Would have to go far back. Hum, I did enjoy dating (well, you know) but I'm married, that's out, lol. I may have to content myself with becoming a member of the sippy cup. Awesome sippy cup by the way

Post Surgery Recovery at home :

1) Gas pain: chewable gas strips, walk, heating pad, stretching, sleeping in different positions

2) Pain: liquid Vicodin (prescription) and Tylenol, sleeping in a semi-reclined position, even on a recliner as breathing may be uncomfortable

3) First week is hard but by day 8 you can go to DQ with family watch them eat but sip a drink, right AuriP?

4) After two weeks we'll be able to return to work and attend support group looking good to folks around you, we may even feel good

5) Exhaustion: I have read a lot about people feeling really tiered in the first month. The description of running out of steam very quickly is abundant. Many report not feeling great until 3 months out.

The length of time feeling exhausted, in my opinion requires some mental prep. Anyone has anything to share? I was just thinking about this because so many of us are getting surgery next week

im actually going to have to try a sippy. I can't seem to not gulp and four days post op I can tell you it's incredibly painful. I love ice cold Water and used to get down a gallon a day - not possible but my mind thinks it is ....I guess there are worse battles.

Just a word of warning. 4 days post op and at my wits end in bloating/gas pain I chose to use my kids chewable pedi lax .....it worked BUT the flood gates are open now. Great for the pain, not great when you want to leave the house. You are warned ????

      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.
