At first it was a little rough for me.. I'm not good with anesthia so I got sick. I'm down almost 34 pds and thurs will be 6 weeks. My only problem is trying to get all my fluids in.. Honestly it changed my life ! It's deff hard at first but it's all worth it in the end

To me it was deff worth it! No draining tube! That day I was up and walking with no problem feeling good the problem I had was the anesthia made me sick so I was puking because I never handle it good with any surgery . With me puking it was causing pain in my stomach so I was at the hospital a little longer then the usual stay. If your ready to really work hard it's worth it it's not something that jus fixes the problem u deff have to work for the results but at the end of the day being healthy is what matters. I know for me I've been heavier for a while and being 19 with that problem doesn't feel so great! So I've finally started to feel good about getting healthy and doing what's right and I'm shedding the pds

I was only suppose to be there two days but I kept getting sick off the anesthia and puking so they kept me longer until it finally wore off and I was okay. When I was pukin it was putting strain on my stomach and it started to hurt . It usually doesn't happen but in my case it did because I can't handle anesthia

      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.
