So what did they do for you in the hospital?

And, did they say what caused your spasms?

At least you are in good hands there.

Its a good idea to take things slow for a while.

Hey Niki,

I hope you are doing better today.

Please be careful. This is a major surgery - be very gentle with yourself.

The mayo Clinic nurses had me roll onto my side, scoot my legs off the

bed and then they assisted me upright.

Gotta say I got scolded for getting up by myself once I figured it out.

Surgery date of 8/20! Today is my first day of the 2 week liquid diet. I vacillate between excitement and terror. Ahhhhhhh!

Yes, I was a bit nervous, too, before my actual event.

I decided to put my trust in my doctors.

They are highly trained and do this all the time.

The surgery was perfect.

Afterwards, there was a little tiredness

and soreness by the incisions.

I was so happy to see my blood glucose dropping,

everything else was minor.

When they had me up and walking I was overwhelmed by a feeling of POWER.

I know I can do anything, now!

      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.
