Had my surgery today. Cried my eyes out the whole morning, but all of a sudden I woke up in recovery with LITTLE TO NO PAIN! Amazing. Barry gas pain either. Walking is very difficult, but I managed to go for a little walk today. Going to try each hour or two tomorrow. Never been so happy.

Congratulations!!! I know how you feel. My surgery is tomorrow morning and I feel flooded with so many emotions questioning everything. Glad to hear you feel good. Need to stir up some courage for the morning.

It was funny. I told them I was having an anxiety attack and they said "oh we'll give you a little Valium (and boy did that burn going through my iv in my hand..) and then I was still crying, still anxious. So we went to the OR. I don't even remember them giving me anything else haha

Congratulations!!!

I'm so glad you had very little pain. I was the same. I know walking is challenging, but I promise it's one of the best things you can do.

Just keep swimming, sweetie! You're going to do great!

I remember the anesthesiologist patting my head as he told me to breathe deeply. Then nothing. Haha!

      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.
