Hey guys. I had Surgery yesterday morning and everything went extremely well. I wasn't nauseous so that was a plus. I didn't get discharged around 4pm today. I had an hour ride home and my friend drove me home. The car ride home sucked. I'm still really sore but other than that I'm doing great!!

Congrats. So happy for you. Everything you went through motivated me because I have had some obstacles and felt like giving up. But I know I have to fight for this and not give in. I know it was worth going through once you are done with surgery and on your way. Congrats once again.

Thanks @gingerbelle! I'm so glad I could motivate someone! It was so incredibly stressful going through the whole process and it's so crazy just know that the actual surgery is finally over! Now, it's all up to me! Exciting! But scary! I'm ready for this journey. I've almost survived week 1. My first post-op appointment is Tuesday. Don't give up! :)

I'm going to my 3 month post-op appointment next week. I vaguely remember the first weeks of special foods and diets. I am able to eat most everything on eligible food lists. I love being able to have a taste (bite) of well seasoned and flavorful foods. This was so much worth it. Can't wait to tell the Psychiatrist (psych Eval) that I am happy! He said surgery wouldn't make me happy!!!

      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.
