I check in for my surgery tomorrow (3/22)! at 8am and am supposed to be the first person in!!! WHOOOOHOOOOOO! My birthday is Sunday (3/27) and this is by far the best gift I could have given myself. I had internalized stress a coped with a side of junk food for a while and I am beyond ready to get myself back on track. I gave my friends and family a disclaimer a few weeks ago that I am no longer holding my tongue and can not continue to be EVERYONE's emotional go to person- I was trying to be there for everyone but neglected myself tremendously.

But on a lighter note...how long did you stay in the hospital? I am expecting 2 days and planning to return to work Monday of next week (3/28) since I work a desk job.

I stayed in the wilmington hospital for 2 1/2 days. I went back to work after 3 1/2 weeks. I also have a desk job but could have used another week. My body was physically ok but I was too tired to last a whole day

I am feeling surprisingly well! I spent last night on the couch instead of the bed and gave away the last few forbidden foods that were in the pantry this morning. My intention is still to go back to work Monday but that may change. For now I am going to spend the day clearing off my DVR and sleeping of course .Thanks everyone!

Thanks! That's what I am thinking so far. I have some soreness from 3 incisions and a bit stiff in the morning but not unbearable.

      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.
