Well I want to account the last few days for all of you

day of surgery: Pain was ok and bearable but it took me most of the day to recover from all the drugs.

day 2: Pain was much worse took alot of percs. and slept through it . between the gas and the abdominal pain it was bad

day 3: woke up had some yogurt went to work for a 3/4 day. went home napped and felt overall good.

day 4: awesome went to work no more gas pains just soreness in the abdominal area

day 5 : today. at work happy and down alot of weight I am actually going to try to get down mor calories today. I have been getting down the correct amount of Protein and Water each day but I am going to shoot for 500 calories today

I weighted 332lbs on sunday as of this morning I weighed 313 lbs.

The pain and waiting was well worth it. Within a couple more weeks I will be the lightest I have been in 3 years. I am going to go to the gym (start off slow) on monday morning. I am very Pumped.

Congrats to you jweiss1000!!!! I love to read the good experiences!!! I am scheduled for the 19th and would like to have the same results as you!! I want to lose 100lbs.

Do you think you will have any problems with not drinking when you get to eat reg food? I can't imagine not washing down my food. I was told Applesauce would be OK to use instead and not leave you thirsty. Does anyone else have any comments on this???

      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.
