Thank you... It;s been fine, just don't do too much too early ! Rest, lots of Protein, fluids and sleep .

I also had my upper and lower eyes done plus my boobs - which are now AMAZING lol

My eyes are still very swollen and tight but no pain at all, even right after the op which surprised me!

Oh my gosh I'm so jealous!!! I want my boobs done. I JUST said yesterday that I look like a little boy because i'm seriously flat chested now...I've had mosquito bites that are bigger than my boobs! I can't afford the extra 5k right now so i suppose I'll just have to live with being the president of the itty bitty titty comity.

I was the opposite.. Far too big, hanging down and now they are the same as they were before having kids and losing over 100 llb in weight. Will add pics later.

Good luck for next week ????

Thank you ShinyLady I never had bags under my eye pre VSG. I lost a lot of fat from my face, hence the bags. I am really glad I had the eyes done.

You look amazing! I just turned 30 and am noticing puffiness/bags under my eyes where they're were none before surgery. I thought it was just me not getting sleep. My sister noticed too. I hope it doesn't get any worse. Im still getting carded lol.

I was quite shocked about my eyes, I have never had bags before and was always told I didn't look my age. Each day they feel less 'tight' but they are still swollen a little. My daughter in law is 31 and she still gets asked for ID !! lol

Whohoooo not long Linda.

I am 4 weeks out on Monday and went for my first long walk today with the dog (about an hour across farmland) and now I hurt lol. I kept having to remind the hubster to slow down.

Don't worry about the house, when you have visitors and they ask if you need anything let them clean! lol.

Be prepared for swelling and make sure you wear your binder day and night.

      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.
