I am also focusing on the positive things to come to get me through the anxiety and fear. I was thinking about how great the beach will be when I am (hopefully) down 100 lbs this time next year! Give us an update on your surgery when you are feeling up to it. I am hoping for a pain free recovery for you tomorrow!

I'm doing well! Off of the pain meds right now and able to drink the Protein Shakes in tiny amounts. The burping from all of the air is not fun but I've found that walking certainly helps.
Can't wait to hear from others!




Glad to hear you are well! I go under tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. I don't expect to get much sleep tonight!

Well the recovery kind of sucked [emoji24] but I got through it. I have lost a total of 25 pounds and I wish I would have done a better preop diet so that I would be at 40 pounds down. It was hard for me to not want to eat my moms cooking but the surgery helped anytime I went to eat something it just came up. I am tired but happy overall. How are you doing

      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.
