CONGRATULATIONS ...This is 2 days after you posted so I am hoping all went well for you. I just finished my final nutrition class and all test and Appointments are done. Now just to get a surgery date. Even though I am very anxious in a good way to get this done, I tend to still have some questions in my head of, To Do or Not to Do... I want you to know I came across your post just as a question was in my head, but your Happy Face on a stretcher and a thumbs up was just what I needed.....Thank You for sharing and I hope to see you making nothing but PROGRESS in the coming days

And are you getting close to going home? And how is 5his day going for you?[emoji14]
Came home around 1:30 this afternoon. I will say I am feeling pain on my right side. They said I would for about a week. It's the side where most of the work was done and deepest stitches. Actually pretty painful getting in the standing position stretching it out. Other than that I'm great. Getting most of my liquids down and walking alot.

Glad my pic helped. I have absolutely no regrets doing this. Totally worth the discomfort. Good luck to you!

      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.
