It was actually not bad at all. Def sore (like you got punched or worked out hard) and it felt like really bad gas pains at the top incision for me. Day 5 and I’m having much less gas pain and overall ok,

Crazy but the scale says down 7 lbs?! Not hungry at all- hard to drink everything you need to

Girl trust I understand. It took them 3 weeks to approve mine. I called them though and she told me I was approved before I received the letter. So call and get on they nerves lol



Lol ... I called every other day. Then the day I decided to wait & not call I got the letter.. A couple of days later the surgeon’s office called ans scheduled my 4 hour class, my pre-op appointment & my surgery all at once!! They wanted to schedule me for Jan 10 th!!’ But I need to tie up stuff at work & find someone to fill in for me so I settled on February 6th... I’m soooo excited!

      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.
