It's such an incredible relief when you wake up, knowing that your safe. I worried myself sick for the week leading up, positive I wouldn't make it through

I'm doing well, I've only had one wave of nausea which was momentary, the gas pain is very low now. I feel extremely lucky that I'm doing so well.

How are you going? Have you started the Optifast yet, your date should be coming up soon

Great stuff, Ifrit!

The rate I'm going, I'll be twenty kilos heavier by the time December ninth roles around. I just can't seem to stop the food funeral - pizza, tuna Pasta bake (which I love and hadn't had for years), all sorts of junk .... I do well for a day or two and then bang, it's back to eating whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like. I seriously want it to stop because I don't want to have to take off what I've just put on, but can't seem to help myself.

Sigh.

Roles = rolls

I'm much the same!! I think I've put on 5kg since confirmed date. Hell I have 4 weeks to go.....have to slow it down.

NZ KIWI GIRL!!

Hey everyone! Great to hear the journeys! Welcome to the other side those who have had surgery recently!! Sorry I haven't been on much!

Re: early weeks, Fluid & Constipation - for some reason a water bottle with a bit of sugar free cordial is much easier to drink than straight Water. Always always carry a bottle with you. For Protein that goes down easily, up and go energise is fantastic - easy to sip, fills you up and great shot of protein. Also Metamucil sachets that dissolve in water. Keep going gals!!!

I've just had 3 month post op check up. 15kgs gone, 2 sizes down, much more energy. Can eat anything in small amounts. Started Zumba, easy to choose the stair option now. Feeling great.

Those wound issues? Apparently the sutures they close under the skin were not cut close enough and keep breaking through. 120days til they dissolve - so 30 to go!!!

      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.
