My fellow 16th-er... Have you noticed any weight loss yet? Also what kind of Soups have you been eating? I'm getting bored with cream of mushroom cream of chicken and Tomato. (Not that I eat more than three bites each) ;)

Is that what that pain is in my abdomen? Gas? I haven't passed much gas...everything went really well, I think...just kinda sore...throat where they put in the breathing tube and abdomen. Feeling much better than I feared I would. The whole thing was so much less painful and invasive than I had feared it would be. Relieved. Now my new life starts! (I lost about 14 pounds on that prep diet of liquids. Thought I would never want to look at liquid again...but after having my last sip of Water on Monday night at 10 pm (12-22) and not able to have any liquids until this morning (12-24) @ 6am....I am grateful for liquids.feeling a bit bloated (odd) and sore...but all in all, I am a happy camper! :D

Actually this feels a lot like it did after childbirth (all 3 times). Loud noisy gas and sore abdomen...just worried about whether I should be pooping or not? (Not that I have put much in to poop out in the past week...)

I didn't poop for like 8 days. There isn't much in there ;)

Gotta love the honesty of this site! ????

      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.
