Surgery was Monday the 8th. Getting discharged today. I'm excited about the future. I still have concerns about getting in the requirements and what\when to tell those who start to ask, but I'm sure it will be all worth it. I'm 54 years old and weight has been a life long battle. I knew that this had to be done so that I could enjoy the rest of my life without so many meds and complications from excess weight.

How long after surgery before you could drive?

My doctor's orders were as long as I was off the narcotic pain meds I could drive. I felt up to going out about 5 days out. Could have driven before that tough if I had to.

Guys, I'm freaking out a bit. My pre-op appointment is tomorrow and I've managed to lose another ten pounds from my last appointment (-124lbs since Spring of 2016, BEFORE ANY SURGERY!!!), but I am still terrified that Dr. Patterson is going to find a reason to deny me surgery. If y'all could say some prays/light candles whatever for me to be calm and collected, I'd appreciate it. I'm probably going to take some of my emergency Xanex tomorrow, LOL :60_sweat:

I am, thanks! I'm just so ready to be "post-op" instead of "pre-op", y'know? :)

      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.
