It went good! I was really scared going into surgery but they were really nice & helpful at calming me. I woke up after surgery and was able to start walking later that night. The pain levels settle & become more bearable. Tbe stomach binder is very comforting.

Congratulations!!!! I’ve been binge watching my 600lb life and I don’t think that’s the best idea. I’m completely freaked out now. I’ve never had surgery never stayed in a hospital. So I’m a bit freaked out. Good to know your experience was good. What state are you in?

I know it's not the same surgery but I had 4 surgeries in 2017 for ovarian cancer including two twilight procedures. You'll be just fine. Before you even know it you'll be waking up and ready to start your new life.

      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.
