My anesthesiologist gave me something for the anxiety. I didn’t care by the time I hit the OR doors. It’s going to go great! I’m a little over 2 weeks post op and I don’t regret it.

Hey! I had my surgery on 12/4/19 and lost 22lbs my first week, this week I've stalled. Feeling discouraged but continuing to follow my post-op diet. SO tired of Protein Shakes and broth!

Think of it as 11lbs lost each week! If you lost 22lbs every week, eventually you'd disappear 😅

I have to be at the hospital by 6:15 tomorrow morning. I’m not really nervous yet, however, I feel like I will be when I wake up in the morning. 😩 Good luck to all of my surgery twins! We got this!! 👊

I had mine on the 9th and doing great! The worse part was waiting in recovery to go to a regular room as I wanted to get out of the bed and sit up! I slept on the Recliner in the room as it was more comfortable. Good luck to all the upcoming surgeries! It was the best decision of my life!

I had my sleeve on 12/2 and my wife followed a week later on 12/9. It's actually very supporting to be eating from the "same menu".

I agree. Hubby and I were on the same day. Meal planning is so much easier

      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.
