I just wanted to see how everyone is doing. I got to come home last night and it was so much better sleeping in my own bed! I had a lot of gas pressure, but gasx and walking have help that a bunch. How are you?

Happy to hear you're back home and doing well.

My surgery is today, so I'll be leaving the house soon.

My surgery is in a few hours. I had the worst night of sleep, I was up like every hour thinking "this is the longest night ever!" Let's hope for a perfect surgery and fast recovery for the march sleevers!

Glad you are doing well! My surgery was Wed and got to come home last night! I am doing great (though don't want to jinx myself) even tried 2 oz. greek yogurt and Protein shake before I left the hospital and all went well! Keep up the good work "losers"

I'm one week out, and feeling really good. I had trouble sleeping for a few days ( I had on open revision, so big incision). Once I got some sleep, I felt great, still a little sore, but not bad. I take some liquid Tylenol if my insides are feeling sore, or if I do too much, and that really helps. I use nectar Fuzzy Naval watered down a little if I'm having trouble getting all my Protein in. It counts as Water, too. I hope you are all enjoying good health!

      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.
