I'm soooo happy yall!!! I have a surgery date of December 18 and I can't wait. I feel a ton of different emotions. I feel excited, relieved, nervous, happy, scared, determined, focused, and the list goes on. This has been a long time coming. This support group is one of the best things to happen to me. Thank y'all so much for sharing your stories and most importantly, willing and excited to share and help. Thank you.

How would you describe the first 4 days of recovery. How are your energy levels? I'm a PE teacher and I wanted to go back to work after my 2 week Christmas break.

2 weeks? You should be fine, but everyone is different. I am aware of alot people that have sedentary jobs that return that soon, but a physical job may or may not be different. Personally I'm not myself at the point but I am doing to do daily things that doesn't include too much bending over and stooping. Play it by ear.

      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.
