Update ten days post op. One drain out and one still putting out at least 40-60cc of Fluid. I am feeling stronger as each day goes by. Still not able to eat a lot at any given time. It’s been my mission each day to get in enough calories and Protein to facilitate healing. I think my swelling is pretty well controlled, I am going to tighten my compression garment by one hook as the loosest seems to be getting too loose. It’s been so weird the faint feeling with taking off the garment before my shower. I’ve been also trying hard to make sure I am hydrated so there is less chance of that fainting happening. My pain is pretty well controlled. I really only feel sore, not so much pain, if that makes sense. Still walking hunched over, it’s killing my back. Can’t wait to walk more up right. Here’s some pics from the other day. IMG_4723.JPG IMG_4725.JPG

Hope your recovery is going well and you're healing up! Thank you for sharing! I'm starting to research if I may need plastics but I know I need to give my skin some time to catch up.

If you're comfortable, do you have pictures after weight loss before plastics?

      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.
