Had my surgery this morning and I'm now resting at home. Feeling really good. I have a heating pad on my back to see if it'll assist in the gas pain. But it's not a big deal.
And my surgeon commented on how nice and small my liver was. [emoji23]

Ditto to the above- I alas am still in the minor leagues, on the When Is It Ever Going to Happen team, waiting my call up to the Big Leagues of Bariatric Surgery. Packing my duffle bag of goodies, lining up Protein Shakes on my pantry shelf, yes the very-same shelf where the cookie packages, chips, pretzels and chips(crisps to my Commonwealth cousins() and bottl3s of soda used to set. There is one dusty package of Cheezits at,one end, still unopened.
Attention Bariatric Team Managers aka Surgeons, please call,or text me, my info is on that 15 foot sign in my front yard with the floodlight shining on it. I got a rebate from American Electric Power for the extra power,reminded them with lower grocery bills I can pay them more promptly.😆And somebody said I don't plan ahead?

Maybe it's just the meds talking here, but I feel great. No pain. I can sleep on either side. I'm tolerating liquids just fine. Walking around the house to get moving. The anti-nasea meds make my very very sleepy so I'm reasting and NOT overdoing, but I feel like I could face the real world today if I needed to.

      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.
