So I'm 9 days post op and I feel great. I've been walking and sipping as much as I can. The Protein doesn't go down as fast as Water but I'm getting there. Had my first visit with my surgeon today and I have lost a whopping 17 pounds. I'm so happy for myself I'm telling everyone I know like look at me! Lol! Although, I don't see where it's coming from, but I do feel it in my clothes.

On another note to those who are about to start this journey and looking to this site for any clue of what's next to come. Be patient, and always remember everyone is different. As I was looking into this site trying to gather information about what's it supposed to be like post op and I found myself thinking negative about what was next for me. A lot of the things I read were a little on the scary side. So far the only thing I can say is yes I'm hurting internally, but no matter how small the incisions are we have to remember it was a big operation on the inside. So right now I'm just doing my best to keep going and doing what am doing, because I'm going in the right direction according to my doctor of course. Everyone heals differently.

I'm so happy for you. I'm looking forward to be where you are at right now. I'm hoping to have my surgery in July. I have most of my appointments out of the way already. The last two will be next week.

      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.
