You have nothing to worry about. Most people feel much better in a couple days. For me, it didn't even take that long. I really would never even known I had surgery if I didn't have the little cuts on my

tummy. I was out walking 3 dogs the day after surgery.

I lost 22 lbs the first 4 weeks while I had to be on a liquid diet.

You should spend time before your surgery just reading all around the board. There is a wealth of information on this board. Try to get familiar with the different sections. The food section has good things to make while you're on the special diet right after surgery.

You might want to stay out of RAnts and Raves. For the most part, that section has nothing to do with the surgery. It's more

of a place where people get their frustrations out.

Hello,

My father just had LB and is suggesting that I get it done; this sounds like a good idea but I am very scared. I am a 24 year old woman who is around 254 pounds, I have tried many different diet plans which work for some time but the weight always comes back. I suppose what makes this even harder is my boyfriend is not supportive of the idea; he thinks it is a copout or excuse for laziness. I dance twice a week and walk whenever I can, I may have an office job but I am not lazy.

I know he loves me just the way I am but I also know his negative thoughts about this is because he has struggled with being too thin all of his life… Now wouldn’t that be a different struggle.I want to thank everyone for all of the information provided; I really am looking forward to reading it.

Loup

      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.
