Break a leg -

Pain is a little intense afterwards, subsides & the staff should help you all the way.

My surgery was on Sept 10th and other than a painful sneeze yesterday to remind me I'm still recovering I feel pretty good, +20 lbs down.

Right after the surgery you'll probably still wonder if you made the right decision but you wouldn't have passed the battery of tests if it wasn't something you weren't a candidate for - so from a medical perspective you are in good company.

I know for me it was necessary and so given the options was the best decision I could make - and I'm totally comfortable with that!

I am pne of the lucky ones. They kept me on pain meds the day of surgery. After they wore off I did fine. Little stiff walking at first but more disconfort than any real pain. Good luck..

      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.
