Getting hit with cancer on the heels of this surgery was a blow but I greatly admire your pragmatic, can-do attitude. Hope the dilation helps with food volume and diversity!! I didnt realize that this was so commonly needed.
ETA: Nice new boobs, btw! :lol: I remember reading (and laughing) when someone described hers after weight loss as tennis balls hanging from tube socks, and now this is becoming me!!

Ha! Yes, I “raised the rack” back where they belong. I had the dilation today and the doc said he couldn’t even get his endoscope down and had to use a small one to start. I was dilated to 15mm and ho back in a month to have it done again so it will “stick” for a few years at least. Already eating more volume.

I always had straight as a board hair and tried to perm it for fun in my 20s. I was always envious of you curly headed chix! :D It went awry and didn't end well. Then fast forward to 50. And after chemo mine grew back curly! :) It's now straight again, but it has more wave and body than it used to. :)

So can't wait to see yours and hear if it changed any! Maybe your's will come back in straight? :)

      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.
