Hey there guys. Had the surgery yesterday at about 8AM and according to my wife I was in a great amount of pain. By the time I slept a bit and woke up later in the afternoon I felt pretty good. Was up walking laps by 6PM. Felt better every hour and was discharged at 1PM today. I have the On-Q pump so that helps a bunch I think.

Now just to follow the doctors orders and stick to my diet and beat this thing and use the "tool" for what it is.

Thanks for all your well wishes.

I to am getting surgery tomorrow. It feels surreal. Had a year to wait and got more anxious with each month. Now that it is here, I am happy and scar d to death. Any advice for the hospital stay and post op?

I'm almost one week post op. I was scared too but it really wasn't too bad. I still have a little soreness but for the most part feeling great and my blood sugar levels are the lowest they've been in years!

One week in and I am feeling pretty good. I have had my rough moments with the family eating some of my favorite foods but I know I can't eat it and if I could I would hate myself anyway after. This has been a somewhat emotional roller coaster but I am loving the ride. Shirts are fitting better than they have in ages and I am looking forward to next Monday for my 2 week post-op visit. Can't wait to see the progress I have made numbers wise. I know I feel it in my body. Full liquids can be rough but I can see puréed right around the corner and solids is next. Right now I am just craving
Good healthy Proteins. I want salmon and chicken so bad. Does anyone know how bad steak is on our new tummies? I am badly wanting a fillet mignon. Anyway I feel like I am rambling. I hope everyone is doing fantastic. This new life is a gift.

      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.
