Well all in all my surgery was pretty text book. my doctor was very happy with my liver. He said it was pretty and small he was impressed. The pain hasn't been bad either I haven't had anything stronger then tyenol. I am feeling much better today then i had been. If i could get this little pointy ball of gas out of my chest i would be feeling pretty normal. I am however tired still and trying to get my Protein in today im sure will be hard but i must do it. Hope everyone else is doing well.

:pray2:

Well done gilliebean! You sound like you are having a great recovery. I was really sore on day 1 and 2, but today is much better. I'm also still having issues with gas, but it seems to be moving now!

Keep in touch!

Gillibean, I'm sure you have a very pretty liver! What qualifies for a pretty liver anyhow? LOL. Glad to hear everything went well!

Thistledo, you will feel more human soon, I promise! It's amazing what a difference one day makes. Each day you will feel better than the one before. It's been 1 week and 1 day since my surgery and if you told me last week how good I would be feeling today, I would never believe you. It gets better, just keep pushing through it!

      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.
