I know there were several people having surgery this week. I just wanted to say I had mine on Weds and did great. My liver was bigger than he thought so took a little longer and I stayed in the hospital about 48 hours for my blood tests to come back up. Anyway other than that everything was smooth and I was up walking a few hours after surgery. Been drinking good just pacing myself and walking a few min every hour. Slightly sore but I'm ready for the losing part too. Hope this helps anyone feeling scared cause I was terrified. Also I am a bigger patient....just under 500 so I did well and I'm sure you all will too. Good luck everyone and we can all share our weightloss successes soon! :-)

Check with your surgeon/nutritionist.

I had my surgery May 24th. So far doing ok. This was my first time having surgery so I was a nervous wreck, but the anesthesia team was awesome. I’m just working on my Clear Liquids and tolerating everything without any problems. Just that stabbing pain from the big incision site when I change positions. Im walking quite a bit too. Hoping for a smooth recovery for everyone.

      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.
