So glad you healed! Would love to see the news clip. Can you send a link when it airs? I see my doc tomorrow. Hoping my pic line can be removed Thursday. All is going well for past 3 weeks. Eating very carefully.

That's the most exciting part is when the picc line comes out and you can get back to normal! Congratulations! I will send a link when it airs also. I was prescribed 24 hours of tpn so I didn't eat anything for a long time so your lucky if you are eating, trust me!

Just an update. I didn't eat for 7 weeks and was on TPN. My stomach healed and I am doing great! Lost 84 lbs. Since my surgery on 4/4/17. Feeling so much better. Very glad I did this, even with the problems I had.

      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.
