Thank you! How have your first four months been?

I can now say I'm very happy I had the surgery. But it was rougher than I anticipated. I'd had the lap band previously and had to have it removed. So I was familiar with weight loss surgery.

But recovery was hard. I think the biggest thing for me was, I didn't realize it'd be such a challenge to just eat and drink! (a new challenge with food for sure!) I was nauseous SO much. I was dehydrated too, just Miserable....but each month it's gotten better and things are going a lot smoother now.

Congrats on your date! Mine is March 12th. I feel like the days are dragging! I just try to keep busy and not to obsess about it because it's like torturing myself. Best wishes to you!

Day 2 post surgery. All is good, hopefully home this afternoon. No pain in abdomen but gas pains are there. Walking the halls trying to get it absorbed.

      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.
