Hahaha and there it is!!! Our little GT's morphine smile! :D :D :D :D Congrats on a successful surgery and such a sweet smile of victory!!!

LOL, on another note, I just found this thread (again). LOL. I say again, cuz I vaguely remember reading it the first time in my own morphine haze thinking first: Happy Birthday to our sweet and hilarious GT, then second thinking that perhaps you might be dead, curled in a fetal position dumping in the back of the bus to hell. ROFLMAO! This morning I find this thread and realize I hadn't dreamed it!!!

So glad surgery went well (from the photo) now we just need lots more piccies and a blow by blow!!! Are you up and walking already???!!! I thought of you this morning as I did my walk, walk!!!!

Arrived at the hospital at 630 am.

Registered and was taken to preop area to collect samples amd change clothes.

I was immediately started on lactaded ringers (IV drip), vitals taken , met with the anesthesiologists then my surgeon. Asked final questions i was unclear about. & received answers

Taken into the OR and was pit under general anesthesia. Awaken briefly in recovery where i advocated for the proper pain meds (morphine does not work for me), fell asleep again to be awaken when i was in my room where my lovely Boyfriend was already waiting. Amazing. Feeling.

Labs & vitals every couple hours but I got up to walk around. Told my Guy to go home around 11pm so he could rest properly.

Walked again 4-5 am, then started the Water protocol at 6 am but fell asleep again. Now im resuming the drinking amd spirometerji

All in all not terrible 😍

      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.
