Jus a quick update. Surgery was a success. Surgeon said it was straightforward, textbook surgery, no issues.

Which is good, because the pain I experienced for the first 4-5 hours post opt was the worst I've had in my life. I mean, it was scary bad. They finally got a pain combo that worked for me, plus the passage of time, and I feel human again.

Still taking the pain meds as I don't want to get "behind" the pain again, but my pain at this point is pretty low.

Just ice chips for now, but that's fine with me. Just thirsty.

Hope everyone else's went well today. And good luck over the next few days. I look forward to hearing from you all.

      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.
