My surgery is scheduled next week, April 23!! I am 1 week into the pre-op diet, and still feeling a bit hungry. I know I'm not drinking Water like I should, so I am pushing myself today.

Getting so excited! I am obsessed with looking at before & after photos! I am sure I'm not alone......lol

Today is 1 week since my surgery, not a lot of energy yet, but the only pain is from my staples and they come out on Tuesday!! Can't wait to go swimming.

I weighed myself this morning and have lost 25.5 pounds since starting the pre-op liquid diet!!!

I'm really happy the surgery is behind me and can't wait to lose more!!

Good luck to those whose time is close, the pain doesn't last forever, you CAN do it!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I was sleeved today and wasn't prepared for just how much it hurts. Very, very tired, too. Walking around is hard. So glad it is done, though.

@Jennicarn: each day the pain will be less and less....I didn't walk a lot in the hospital either. You'll notice a huge difference in your pain and gas a week from now.

Take care,

Lori

Had my preop labs, ekg and upper GI today [worst test ever lol]. Picked up my post op scripts, paid the surgeon and hospital, and submitted my leave paperwork. My regular scheduled days off are fri/sat so I'll pack my hospital bag then. I'm working up until Wednesday bc otherwise I'd go nuts at home but I'm so ready!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
