Good luck to evrryone having surgery today! I'm a week post op and I'm down 11lbs. This makes my liquid diet not suck that much. Everyone getting ready pls go in with an open mind. Not everyone is the same. You will have your own journey. I gave myself 7 days to feel some what normal. Take one day at a time and know its going to get better :)

Just got my time to be at the hospital. 9:00. Whooo hoo! Very excited. I'm sure the nerves will break this evening. I've only lost 6 pounds on the pre diet. Made me a little mad but just goes to show that my body doesn't like to loose weight very well. Can't wait!

The time has finally arrived, surgery is tomorrow. I just finished drinking that dreaded Magnesium Citrate, now I sit and wait for the hours of uncontrollable pooping.

I'm officially sleeved!! As of yesterday I had my surgery. I was naucious last night but today feel much better as I've been walking the halls which helps with the gas pains. Already had my leak test and is came out good so I'm started on 33ml of Water for an hour? Having someone here with me is helpful too just to help with compression socks and not having to wait for someone to walk with me.

So I was sleeved last night between 6-8...my pain has been pretty bad but perhaps I just have a low threshold or perhaps it was the gallbladder removal. Anyway, I'm home now. They used staples instead of glue on my incisions. Anyone know why they would do this? I never saw my surgeon after the surgery and nobody else could tell me why because he normally does not.

I'm one week and one day out.

Feeling really good considering and I went yesterday for my one week post op!! I broke even on the scale, which they said was normal, most gain so they can tell I've been walking.

HW 325

SW 294

CW 294

GW....they say 140 but I'm 5'9!!

So I just want to be at a good healthy weight for me! I'm off for a 2 mile walk now!!!

Keep all the hard work going!!

No clue. My surgeon used internal dissolve stitches and glue on top and I'm so grateful because I've had no issues. No pain.

      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.
