Yes. Two days away. I'm as nervous as a hostage... I'm on my liquids. So I choose to stay home instead of going to dinner at my in-laws..

I go in tomorrow at 8am! For those of you who already had your procedure this month,how are you doing?emoji2.png

Hi. I had my surgery on the 10th. Now 8 days out, I'm feeling better and better. Had a lot of nausea the day after and no one likes to feel that...however, I walked as much as I could and kept reminding myself "this will pass." And it does! I wasn't too sore just took it slow. Walk, sip Water, rest repeat. It's amazing how much better you feel each day. Best of luck to you and take it slow and steady.

I'm 6 days post op. I'd been feeling pretty good the last couple days but feel like I went totally backwards today. Bad stinging pain in my indented incision. Really hope to turn the corner soon.

I'm having my surgery 4/18/2017.. i'm excited but nervous. i still haven't told my husband:51_scream:. i think i will tell him tomorrow night after we get home from the Easter celebration.. he cant hold Water and i don't want him telling anyone:220_monkey_face:. i don't think he'll be that supportive either. But, I'm not doing it for anyone other then myself. [emoji4]

It was postponed until 4/ 25.. I'm disappointed. I was ready, physically mentally and emotionally. Now I can't seem to get it together... How are you doing?

My surgery went well. (4/19) First day was rough with nausea from the anesthesia and horrible gas pains! It gets better each day though! 3 days post op and I feel so much better[emoji2]. All the gas pain from surgery is gone. The only pain I'm having now is from two of my incisions. But it's not too bad[emoji1474] The first two days my pain meds were a God send! I don't have any Gerd or anything...in 3 days I'm down 8 pounds so far[emoji3] My wonderful surgeon was Dr. Lufti at St. Joseph's hospital in Chicago [emoji3]

I had mine 4/19. I way, way under-estimated the pain and nausea though. Yesterday on day 3, I was having a mini pity party wondering why I did this to myself. Today day 4 has gotten better but I still feel really weak.

      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.
