Hey Guys! I'm officially on the losers bench. Had my surgery yesterday at 10 am. Feeling good, just tired. I am ready to get the swallow study over with. I hope it doesn't hurt to drink????. My Mom stayed with me in the hospital and she has been such a trooper. Helping me to the bathroom, walking the halls with me. I am 36 years old, BUT it's still nice to have my Mom around when I am not feeling well.

@@FrankinTexas I am doing good. My abdomen is just super sore. It was really bad last night, but seems better today. I keep walking, and drinking Water mixed with Isopure. Other than being sore and tired, I am doing great! What about you? How are you feeling?

      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.
