Anyone else starting to get REALLY nervous? I'm suddenly all "what am I going to do when I don't have food to turn to?" It's being a hard day today.

Just home from the hospital. Surgery went well and now just need to focus on healing.

Surgery was a bit miserable the first day and night! I also had more pain than expected but after the first night it was sooooo much better and tolerable! I'm post op day 3 and have been shopping all day!!! You get better fast I feel great! I'm not hungry at all and I find my broth Jello and Popsicles easy to get down and i stay satisfied and hydrated! Walked over a mile today! No dehydration or headaches! I'm so happy ;)

I know, right? I have been jumping insurance hoops & dealing with officious medical office personnel here in the US since March 2014. Finally throwing all caution to the wind and heading to TJ.

I can't believe it's here in less than a week!

We've got this!! ????????

Glad to hear you are healing well. I'm pretty sore but going to walk a little more today. Surgery went well but really sore now (1 1/2 days home) Trying to get the liquids in and start making shakes. Any tips for getting going?

June 16 is almost here. I still can't believe I'm doing this. It doesn't feel real.

I am right there with you @@smiranda! I am excited, nervous but most importantly ready to embrace life as a fit person for the first time in a long time! 4 days left including today!!

Stay on top of your pain meds. I've been taking tordol every 8 hours. It's a miracle drug! I literally sip Water all day every couple mins I take a sip of Water or Jello or broth. I was a big water drinker before I've always drank about a gallon a day anyway. This is harder though the small sips are difficult because I want to chug! I've also taken a couple lortabs at night cause I find I'm more sore at night and I sleep better. These were left over from kidney stones. But I'm 4 days out now. Everyday get so so much better! Walk as much as you can I could only do like 5-10 min on day 1 and 2 I've worked my way up to about 30 min now. It's super slow but it's moving. I figure every calorie I burn and the more I use my muscles the better! Good luck Hun. The fist 2 days are for sure the worst! It gets better everyday!

      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.
