Day 2 and I honestly have to say that I feel amazing. I am now drinking liquids which is going down smoothly. Walks have been amazing. Me and my roommate have a walking schedule which makes it more fun. The spirometer is also a fun little gadget. I felt nauseous a couple of times but they gave me some medicine for that, and haven't had a problem since. My incisions looks lovely, no pain whatsoever. Now I am waiting for lunch which will be Jello and chicken broth. I will let you amazing people know how that is going for me. And again I wanna thank everyone for the lovely warm wishes yesterday and for constantly checking in on me, you guys rockSnapchat-224509428.jpeg 20180628_054634.jpeg

Thanks. Yes my surgeon came to check on me 20 min ago and said that I should be able to go home tomorrow as long as I continue to drink fluids. How's everything going on your end?

I am ok, My surgery was pushed back to August 14th. Really Bummed. Its at a Military hospital so that could change back to sooner. I was ready to get on with it. I am in Georgia near Savannah. This weather is so HOT and steamy. The mosquitos run in gangs here, lol

Awwww that must be quite frustrating to have the date pushed back. Hopefully they move it back up in the mean time... I use to live in Augusta Georgia back when I was a teen, so I remember just how hot it gets down there. I hate mosquitos their super annoying [emoji79].

I actually did call my surgeons cell phone, Haha and told him his coordinator moved me back just so he keeps me in mind. Their schedules change. If he cant get me in August 14th will have to do. I wish patience was my thing but its sooooo NOT. LOL

      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.
