To God be the Glory for all He has done!

Hey caddygirl!

The surgery itself was fine. I didn't feel a thing. The small incisions are just a little sore but very tolerable. I'm feeling pretty good.

I had the surgery Wednesday, I came home Thursday, and today I've been resting but I've also got up and went for a couple of walks.

The only tough part has been trying to get all the required Protein in. However, I haven't been hungry at all.

Also, I can't say enough about how thankful I am that I'm not in any pain. I was given some liquid hydrocodone for pain but I haven't really needed it, thankfully!

In the past, I had been so afraid of this surgery, now like so many others I wish I had the procedure sooner, but I'm happy I finally got it done.

I'm feeling very blessed to have so much support as well. Thanks to everyone for your positive thoughts and well wishes!

We can definitely all do this!

Just had mine 10 hrs ago. Had to wait 4 hr in the pre op room. I almost left but so glad I didn't. You can do it!

Wow! I'm so happy you to hear that you didn't back out. I was seriously thinking about doing the same, the morning of my surgery. However, I'm so happy I went through with the surgery. My pain has been almost non-existent, just a little uncomfortable pressure at my incision sites. Good luck with your recovery. You're absolutely right, we can both do this!

      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.
