I am so super stoked about my surgery tomorrow. I can't wait!! Nervous but the excitement of a healthy life overpowers all my fears! Can't believe I've come so far and am gaining control back over my life. I feel like I'm graduating or something. Just so proud of myself.

If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

How you doing after surgery? Mine was Wednesday May 4th. I'm doing very well. Sure hope I'm eating enough. I have a question. How's the hair loss? Mine is a short pixie. I swear it's falling out faster. I was taking Biotine prior to surgery. Is it safe to start taking again? See Doc Wednesday top on my list of questions.

Just had my 6 week check up and I am down 32 pounds. Today I get to go back to unrestricted food other than a few exceptions. It is so worth it. The surgery was not nearly as bad as I feared. The liquids and pureed foods period seems to go on forever but it really doesn't. Feeling very good about the whole experience so far. Good luck to you who are having surgery soon. The anticipation is worse than the reality. And yes the night before and day of surgery I was asking myself, "What the hell are you doing?" Perfectly normal. The worst part will be over soon.

      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.
