I recommend a compression top if you have bothersome incision pain. Good luck. Let us know how you're doing!

Best of luck on your surgeries, you've come this far. Chin up and just think how great you will feel after its over. My surgery is on Dec 7th since my insurance denied it the first time. God is good and they finally approved it.

Good luck tomorrow. You'll probably feel lousy the next few days, but you'll rebound quickly!!

Good luck, remember recovering from surgery is only temporary. You'll be back to 100% in no time.

I had surgery on the 2nd. My advice is to drink small sips of Water every two minutes (set s timer on your phone) and get up and walk as much as you can. The shower made the biggest difference in how I felt. Trust your team and keep us updated! Best thing I have ever done for myself.

      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.
