Well it's done! I'm laying in my hospital bed as I type with a new pouch. Haha I have been really really shocked at how smooth my recovery is going. I've been up walking since just hours after the procedure. My comfort level is high, and my spirit is too! I did have an internal reaction to one of the medicines they administered during the procedure, and am now on insulin. Strange to me because I'm not a diabetic. Having my finger pricked every hour all day and night isn't really awesome but eh. It's fine.

I hope all of my April 11ers are doing well and feeling good!!

Everything went smooth for me today as well. Recovery time was smooth sailing and I was also up and walking shortly after sx. Nausea and gas pains have been the hardest thing to work through.

Good luck to all those going in this week! ❤️

Nervous is normal! Hopefully they've given you something to calm you down by now, and you'll soon be on the other side!! Congrats!!

      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.
