So, how'd it go? Just searching for an update on your surgery. Hope you are well and recovering nicely.

Your avatar it small and I can't tell which ManiAAC you are...I think you are cool.

Well I made it, do I look skinnier? :) After a few days of feeling like a tackling dummy for the Dallas Cowboys I am back at work and taking things very slow. Everything went fine and I am feeling pretty good. Today I am wearing a pair of pants that I got for Christmas but couldn't fit into. That has really psyched me up! I go back on March 15 for my follow up.

Now I can go into these other newbie threads and speak of my experience! :eek: Thank you all for the kind words and support!

Oh yeah, for those that were wondering which ManiAAC I am, here is a link http://www.nba.com/mavericks/entertainment/maniAACs_bios.html#adam%20w.

The picture was taken about a year ago when I was down to 340 pounds on the Natural Hormonal Enhancement program. Now I'll have to come up with a new nickname, Biggy won't fit after awhile! :(

It's good to research anything before you do it, especially sokmething as big as this! Stop contemplating and jump in, the water's fine! :)

I will keep posting as new events are made and hills are climbed. Anyone that wants to see my progress in person is free to stop by our ManiAAC section anytime during any Mavericks home game. It's in section 112 right next to the Drumline! I would love to meet up and talk about ports, fills, food or whatever :)

      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.
