YES!!! I am SO happy for you. You and I started talking right before I had my sleeve done and I am super excited that you were able to have your surgery. Good luck girl, you've certainly waited long enough and totally deserve it! :)

Welcome to the Losers Bench! Now the real fun begins. One word of advise... take pictures, and pictures, and more pictures of yourself along this journey. Even if you never show them to anyone, you'll be so happy you did so you can see the changes for yourself.

Congratulations!

My op was 12 hours ago. I lost 18lbs in the two weeks prior.

My Surgeon just came and checked in on me now.

He said "Mate, it went totally awesome this morning. Thanks for doing the preop diet. I couldn't have hoped for it to be better."

He also said "You should feel in less pain than an hour ago etc etc. just remember it only gets better from herein out. See you tomorrow for a more in depth review."

So I guess it's worked out so far and I can't believe how much pain the shoulder was in from gas this afternoon. But like he told me. It's mostly gone now and it's just the liquid diet and pro turn for 14 days and a graduation to food from there.

Can't wait for the next step.

      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.
