So glad to see how positive you are after surgery sassyfrass! I missed you! So happy to know that the discomfort is not too extreme. I was given a prescription for oxycodone for home after surgery, but I'm not sure I want to even fill it. If the pain is manageable, then I'd rather just do liquid tylenol. I'm not too hip on taking opiods.

What the heck is "man fat" and how is it different than "woman fat"? I'm glad though that you had this done now rather than have waited for something terrible to happen a few years down the road.

Get your rest. We will chit-chat later. Glad to hear that you are doing so fabulous!!!

Yaah! We are here to read how it goes. Sometimes waiting is harder than being done with the surgery....

Best of luck and keep posting! You are on the good side now and wonderful things are about to happen to your life!

Unlike the alternative, which was a disaster it appears from your dr.

Day 3: the pain is pretty intense. More than I was expecting. I know part of it is gas but the other is linked to my incisions and the rearrangement of my organs. Lol. It feels like I did a ridiculous ab workout. I was up at 4 am in some severe pain and I think I may have drank a little too much too fast. I got to experience sliming for the first time. Ick....

I go in for a follow up today and may potentially receive an IV of fluids just as a precaution. I'm able to get my fluids in rather easily so far.

I am very relieved for you.

You are going to be a model patient as you have been all along. You will reap every possible benefit from taking this action to improve your health.

Very, very scary to consider what may have been had you not.............

Proud of ya !

You also strike me as someone who's gonna push themselves really hard. Please take time to recover and heal properly first, though !!!! Very happy for you.

Well done and congrats on being on the other side of things now.

Each day of your life will now be more healthy than the last.

      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.
