Good morning bariatric pals, I am sitting at the hospital waiting to be called back to start my new journey. I'm so excited and can't wait until this part and the recovery is over. I'm praying for my other surgery buddies who are also having surgery today.

Prayers all goes well for you today and beyond! One step and a time. Be kind to yourself and don't rush recovery. Telling you and reminding myself of all of these things. I'm scheduled for later this month.

Good morning James Marusek. Everything went great! Even better then I expected. I walked to my door and sat for nearly an hour yesterday. I just had my first sip on my phase 1 crystal light.

Hi surgery buddies, sorry it's been a while since my last post. Day one following surgery was great then day 2 went a little towards left field. I had my 1st bm and it was total blood which continued for the next 2 days. My hemoglobin dropped to low and I had to get 2 pints of blood. My energy dropped also and I was only allowed to sit up for a few minutes periodically. During my surgery they noticed an embilical hernia that they repaired and somehow it was partially entangled with my intestines. It appears that I was losing blood in my intestines but it stopped on its own without me having to have more surgery. I finally got discharged yesterday February 10th(which was the 1st anniversary of my husband's passing so I was mega glad to be back home with my family). My surgery journey was more then I expected but I have great hopes for the rest of my recovery process and my new me. Thanks everyone for your prayers and well wishes.

      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.
