I had my surgery this morning. I'm a little sore. We had a tornado warning so I had to go to a stairwell shelter area for about 15 minutes. I weighed 11# less than I did when I started the all clear liquid diet. Right now I hurt but I there are pain meds on the way!

I am one day post op. I'm good, I'm home. I have a whole bunch of relearning to eat to do! I am on clear liquid diet for 3 days, then switch to full liquid for 10 days, then soft food for 20 days. Protein Water is key! To be able to get 60-80 grams of protein in a day, the protein water is the only way I can do that. I can't chug it. It's different.

@@littlebuddy213 how much fluids are you managing to get in today?

I have bought Protein Water too (coconut) and its lovely. Hope I still like it after the op lol. It's a totally different taste to the shakes, which I also think are good.

@@justajackie How are you doing today? How was the op and are you home yet?

I feel like I can't sleep cause I have to read anything and everything about the pending pre-op diet to the long term post-op experiences. I'm a lower BMI but have lost just as much of my "life" as I would at a higher one. I'm ready to get back to the life I was supposed to have, and start over. I'm nervous to be home with my kids all summer, cooking for them all day and not being able to eat any of it. I don't usually have a problem not eating it, but the "can't" makes the thought tougher.

My date is July 23rd. I'm a Canadian going to the WLF clinic in Tijuana. I'd love to hear or share any thoughts and experiences from all of you.

My date is also july 23rd! I am having it done at my local hospital in Massachusetts. I am also nervous and excited. it will be scary but usually everything worth anything is!

I've been nursing a 20 Oz bottle of Isopure since 9a.m.. I have to drink 1 1/2 to 2 bottles a day. It's not easy

I am home, surgery was about 45 min, there were no complications. I was up walking in an hour. I'm sore but nothing major. When I get sore, I walk. It helps with the gas that is remaining from the surgery. I gained 3 lbs from the day before but the nurses told me that was normal. They were pumping me full of liquids so I anticipate peeing a lot

      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.
