Ok so finally not drowsy and fully AWAKE ! Obviously with any surgery there will be pain having a. Little but no where near end of the world pain lol ! That says a lot from me ! I’m like 0 tolerance for pain lol . Procedure went super smooth ! I’m already up walking around because the built up gas they tell you about is no joke ! But if you live like they ask you to it just slides out and bam no pain !!! I just signed up today and I am soooo amazed at how cared for I feel by all of you !! Thank you so much ! I told no one of my surgery except for my Husband ! Even with the pain I’m feeling like this is the best choice I could’ve made for myself !!

I’m doing great, have been walking the halls, ate a few tiny bites of Soup, Jello and apple juice. They gave me these teeny tiny spoons to use. I think I’ll go home tomorrow barring complications, how are you feeling. Pain meds are awesome.

      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.
