Just had my surgery on Monday February 3rd. Not so bad. Just sore and need to heal. Can’t drink a lot as before for it will come back up. Taking liquid pain relief and some kind of products for input now. Good luck guys

Thanks for updating! Are you still in the hospital? If I remember correctly you had surgery in Mexico, right? Hope you are convalescing a bit before you have to travel. Good luck!!

I was scheduled for 22nd. I had my pre-op Testing on Monday. And I got a call yesterday moving my surgery date up to19th. Things are starting to move fast. I start my liquid diet today but decided to go ahead and have Breakfast. I had cream chip beef on toast and a couple of poached eggs along with a grapefruit. Was delicious. Now comes the hard part. But let the journey begin.

@DB in AZ that’s awesome! I’m scheduled for the 19th as well. I’m definitely not looking forward to the pre-op diet but it’s gonna be worth it!

Well I'm back and awake! Dr said everything went well and no pain except some gas on my left side under breast. I've walked twice to help it and just not got my first sip of Water and my tongue thanked me more than anything!

Should be discharged in the morning and off to begin my new ways

I'm glad its over, I had all types of paranoid thought, lol so uncalled for :)

good lucl this month for the rest of you!

They are keeping on a pretty good regimen of pain meds; so maybe I'll stay semi pain free!

So far they are allowing me Water to make sure I can keep things down (30Ml of water 4x an hour) mentally I know its time or passed time for food lol but this water helped my dry mouth so I'm satisfied ;)

For now lol

@JettK that’s good to hear about the pain. Do you feel like you are able to get the Water down in the time they have set for you?

Had my surgery yesterday! Everyone has been wonderful! Two more days in the hospital, and then I'm going home.

Feel a little nauseous and tender in places. On the whole I feel ok.🌞

      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.
