I gotta tell us I tried a cup of sugar free Jello yesterday and it took me over an hour!! It's shocking.

Ya* not us. Spell check is making me so mad lately ????

I had mine done on Tuesday in Springfield Illinois. I think I'm doing okay so far *knock on wood*

Still sore across my upper belly like a tight belt but nothing Tramadol (spell?) can't handle.

Thought I would check in today.. had my first follow up appointment yesterday- things going well. Healing good. Losing weight.

Yesterday was tricky though since it was out of my normal routine I found it really hard to keep track of my fluids Vitamins and Protein drinks!! Making it priority today. I am feeling blah and not sure what it is. Or maybe I do...

I have 5 kids (2 toddlers and 3 teenagers.) Few days ago our basement flooded (pump broke) ruined the AC circuit board so no AC for like 4 days now...have window AC put in and sheets nailed up over the doorways ways to keep the first floor cool though. AC guy supposed to come today. I cant keep up with the house as I am still sore and cant exactly able to move like used to. Husband been spending his time fixing the pump cleaning up basement back and forth to the stores to get parts...when he was supposed to take over MY job and deal with the kids while im in recovery so I don't have have too much stress to worry about but that has not been happening. We have all been confined to the first floor and im about to pull hair. I'm hoping this gets easier down the road :/

Still no regrets though. :)

Well it's been 9 months almost and I am doing good no complications my hunger has returned but no where near what it used to be. I don't have any major dumping issues so I still have to hold myself accountable what I put in my mouth. Trick is not grazing all day long. Stick with my scheduled eating. I'm now weighing in 145 lbs. I have been slacking on working out as my work outs usually involve being outside and I am in the midwest so ..... self explanatory. I will be picking back up soon I am now out of the overweight range. My ultimate goal was 130 so I'm still aiming for that by end of summer hopefully. Hope everyone is doing well and had a good Easter with your families and friends . :)

      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.
