I thought it was just me. I kept thinking, it's my stomach, I think I should take it with me!

Just an FYI for most people who have not yet had surgery. Many laparscopic towers have camera boxes with a hard drive built in. If you asked your surgeon and bring in a flash drive I'm sure many would gladly record your surgery and give you a copy if you asked nicely (it's literally two button presses for them).

Obviously it would only show you the internal portion of your surgery (which really is the only cool part to see anyway)

I was mainly concerned about my liver (and asked my surgeon to show video/photos of it), which I have a high res photo paper of:

I would have liked to see video of the whole thing being done, but it's cool seeing this.. likely the only clear picture I'll ever see inside my abdominal cavity.

Looks health

I received before/after photos with the surgery report. It's pretty standard that they take photos.

That's so cool. I wanted my surgeon to do that but I completely forgot to ask about it the day of my surgery. It would have been cool to see my own insides. Wanting that isn't weird at all. [emoji846]

      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.
