Surgery went well yesterday. Woke up early this morning and been walking. Just had a long hot shower and feeling very well. Just a tiny bit of gas discomfort under my left ribs but all in all, nothing at all like my original VSG. Even the incisions don’t feel bad. They placed a drain on my left side that’s a bit sore but not bad. So ready for some broth or something besides ice chips.

That's awesome that everything is going so well...keep us updated :)

I’m enjoying my first egg [emoji505] right now. The most amazing scrambled egg I have ever tasted and I think I can probably only eat half. I’m one happy girl tho.
Me too. I put a little pepper on it but I am full after half.

It will be time soon. But yes there is a lot of joy in chewing again❤️ Even if I am chewing more than I ever have in my life.

      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.
