Well, one week ago I was just about to undergo my initial anesthesia. What a crazy week! Today I am in almost no pain and my incisions have almost all healed. For anyone worried about the surgery, there is some pain, there is an inconvenience factor, but overall no big deal.

Glad the information was helpful. If you have any other questions/concerns, please feel free to check in with me. Today is day 10 and the pain in the incision site is almost completely gone. Was able to get on and off the floor to play with the dog last night...that was fun! The head hunger is pretty intense sometimes, I would kill for a cheeseburger!

That's a good way to word it, head hunger, I'm dealing with that now, day 2 of Clear Liquids, surgery is tomorrow at 4 so that means nothing to drink or eat all day, but I'm looking forward to 2 weeks from now! Glad you're doing well!

My surgery is June 9th, and it's a relief to hear that you've had smooth sailing so far. I swing between uber excitement and sheer panic. This calms me more than you can know. Keep us in the loop as you progress...

today was slightly better than yesterday, doc decided to keep me one more night as it was very difficult to get liquids in, and didn't want me dehydrating, which I'm fine with, I'm about an hour away from my hospital if there's no traffic so it rather be here if something were to happen :) I got some pain meds about 45 mins ago and they are kicking yay! Should be going home tomorrow mid day God willing :)

I had my surgery on May 20th and I was nervous but the truth is that the Main discomfort has been the gas pain. Incision is healing nicely. Since I been home only used the pain med twice.

      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.
