It is so normal to be scared plus some other feelings may crop up. I cried like a baby my second night in the hospital and at other times wondered if I'd done the right thing. It's okay and normal to have all these feelings...just let them happen and be kind to yourself. You're going to great...and better than ever!

Thank you everyone!! Everything went great!! I was the first one of the day yesterday at 7:30am! I only needed 4 incision instead of the normal 5-7, not really sure why I'll ask doctor when I see him today but it could be because maybe I shrunk my liver to a great size nurse said he wrote in his notes I was one of the easiest and fastest surgerys he ever done, I was only in there for 30 minutes!! And I've had no gas pain just one incision hurt and it hurts in my chest when I swallow liquid because it's still tight, but that's about it. I keep doing laps around the floor since 3 hours after my surgery yesterday and everything I actually just got done doing 8 laps now and it's 5 in the morning by me lol it is going way better than I ever thought I hope you all get as lucky, cause I know I really am!!! I'm swelled up about twice my size lol but I think my incisions look great!post-305092-14819702500062_thumb.jpg

      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.
