I just saw them and wholly Hanna you look hot! Even with the drains and bandages. Your belly button looks fantastic, you have to be absolutely thrilled.

I cannot wait until I am healthy enough to have mine done. Just seeing your pictures made me feel great!

I am so happy for you. By the way dilaudid is a wonderful drug for pain control. After my cervical fusion in June, they put me on dilaudid and I had to fly home 2 days later. I really don't remember too much from those first 2 weeks post op. LOL! I don't remember how I got home, 1 night in a hotel or even bits and pieces of the flight except when I got jostled on the landing. That hurt like hell.

Stay ahead of your pain meds. You look fabulous!

It's great to see and hear how well you are doing!!! The surgeon did an amazing job, it looks awesome, even at 1 day out. I looked HORRIBLE!! The bruising was terrible, surgeon didn't know why I bruised more than usual. Once it healed and all swelling was gone, I was thrilled with the end result. I'm sure you're thrilled already and it only gets better from here!

I am thrilled. I did have a episode earlier though. I decided I wanted to have a shower so I took my binder off and was heading to the shower. I stared getting light headed so I yelled for my husband and the next thing I knew I fainted and was laying on the floor. Naked. Scared my husband to death. I won't be taking a shower today. That kinda hurt but I'm more worried about being naked on the dirty floor. Now I really want to sanitize myself but I'll just wait it out and sponge off.

      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.
