Hi All.

I am getting bypass tomorrow.

I am a mixed bag of emotions today. Took the day off from work, mainly because I cannot concentrate on anything but my surgery. Also thought it would be a good idea to flit around my house getting loose ends wrapped up.

I am excited to start on my journey to a healthier, more weight, body confident me!

Wishing you all success and support on your journey.

You'll be fine. I know how anxiety-inducing it is, but it's all worth it. Good luck!

Hi all. My surgery went well. I've been sleeping what seems to be a ton. Probably my body's way of telling me I need it, lol. I was up walking as soon as they would let me. Pain has been manageable, with meds. One of my incision sites started to leak so they cleaned that up. Grateful for the advice on theses forums, the gasx melt always have been very helpful. Love having my own pillow, Jammie's. I have had a Protein shake last night & this morning. Some yogurt last night. I am going home in a little while. I have to have oxygen because my levels are dropping at night. They said this happens

      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.
