I'm beginning to second guess myself. I don't want to discuss my nerves with my family because I think they are already nervous enough. I know this is incredibly important for my future, so, I will get through it. But my hands are shaking and I feel like I just can't talk to anyone. Anybody else out there feeling like this?

Recovery was pretty rough for the first couple of days. (sleeved on Oct 28th in Sydney) I'm still having a lot of pain. It comes in waves right beneath and in the centre of my rib cage. drinks taste off. Artificial sweeteners taste even more off. Powerade Zero goes down pretty well though. :) looks like there's going to be some trial and error. On the upside, I'm down 14 pounds since I started the Optifast about 2 weeks ago. That makes me happy. How's the rest of the pre-Halloween gang doing? Anybody else fantasising about what your next year's costume will be? ????????????

It's almost two weeks post op. Feeling great. Sick of the Protein shakes. I just mix Greek yoghurt with some unsweetened almond milk.

I had no drains - maybe it's done differently in the UK. Also pre- surgery was a liver shrinking diet that required me to follow a meal plan. Not liquid diets like I read here.

Lost 6kg. Seldom hungry. Trying to keep up with the Protein sans nasty shakes. Made black eye bean Soup yesterday.

      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.
