Hi all. I'm post op as of Thursday morning, woo-hoo. NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE THIS PAINFUL! I know pain varies per person, but geez, my first 48 hrs were awful! I'm much better now, mostly thanks to my Dr and nurses at MedStar Washington. They were soooo patient and gave such great tips.

How exciting (not the pain part ????). Glad you are better and I am hoping my next 3-4 months go by fast.

Congrats on being post op! How are you holding up? I'm hoping to be approved at the end of this month.

I'm holding up well. It's a lot easier than I imagined. My energy is still down, I did the muddy mom as this weekend and it took me a day to recover!

Just this morning, I can officially say I weigh less than my drivers license!!!! 37 lbs down

That's amazing! Congratulations!! I have one more appointment for my 6th month diet this month and then everything gets sent off for approval. I'm pretty nervous and scared I won't be approved but here's hoping!

      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.
