Wow I Felt The Same Way Yesterday.. How Are You Feeling Now?are You Sorry You Went Threw It? Just Had Mine Done Yesterday And Still Confused.

I am totally happy with what I have done. I am having quite a lot of pain from the op itself, (not wind). It feels like I have done 2000 too many sit-ups, or been kicked by a mule. It's deffinitely muscular pain. I have not heard anyone else on here have this problem. It has eased today. Once I am through this I will be well on my way to a happier life. There is more healing to be done than I expected.

Good luck with yours, From what I have read we are not alone in having last minute panics.

When I was hooked up to the IV and the surgeon was coming in to say "Hi".......

I said to him "I can't believe that I have to do this to lose weight. That I have no control over myself".

I was pretty disgusted with myself at that point.....he was taken aback a little bit and said "You'll be happy you did this once it's over.....see you in the Operating Room".

By that point, I was in la la land and the last thing I remember was them asking me to get on the table.

I'm down 10 lbs in 9 days and am looking forward to the next 10 lbs gone!

Thanks for sharing, Graham!

I had many of those same thoughts whilst laying there waiting. I do believe I even teared up at one point. If my knees weren't so weak, I would have gotten up and ran away lol. So glad I didn't though.

      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.
