Thanks! I'm doing great except that my energy level seems to drop off really fast. I've had to take naps every day which is totally not like me. I can't wait til the more energy phase!

You had major surgery so it would be totally expected that you'd be tired. I was very tired my first two weeks. Congratulations on your journey so far!

Good luck to you! I'm 4 weeks post op. It was probably the easiest surgery I've experienced. I was walking 2 hours after surgery. I was released the following day. I was able to keep my Water down. No nausea (which was shocking). I get nauseous so easily. The gas pain was the uncomfortable part of the experience. I walked so much to help. It was moving, but not releasing. I took gas strips it helped, just slow moving. I didn't require any pain meds once I was released from the hospital and that was only 24 hours later.

      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.
