Today is the second day on liquid diet and tomorrow is my pre op appt with the surgeon. Getting excited!!

Binge watching "My 600 pound life". I can't help watching and getting my mind frame set to succeed no matter the obstacle!

Prayers for those who've gone before me and will go after me. Meet you on the Losers Bench! :D

Hi fellow sleevers and soon to be! I am in my room, have been since around 11:00 (I think) the surgery went great. I'm glad to be on the other side of it now and starting my new life. Pain is minimal except in one area at the very top of my abdomen, right under the esophogus. It hurts like air is trapped, with just a little burning. Nothing I can't sleep through. They gave me more pain meds when i asked and I just took a little nap. I also just got back from walking. Went great too! Tip: I remembered from my past c-sections, to hold a pillow over your tummy and push on it when I was getting up. Also when walking around. It helped me with pain. All in all, I'm doing well. Can't wait to see everyone else's updates from surgery today!

Thank you for talking me off the bridge, I got really scared. But I'm back on track. I plan to post every detail I can after surgery.

I had my final preop appt with my PCP, he is so great and supportive. Vitamins ordered, protinix ordered, all I need now is a GI cocktail from my surgeon for post op nausea and gas.

      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.
