I see there are several people on here who have just had thier surgery. I had my surgery on April 17 with Dr. Cywes. I live in Jacksonville, FL and have two children, 7 and 2.

I was wondering how everyone is feeling now that they are at home. I am so tired and was wondering if anyone else just feels totally drained? I just want to know what everyone else is feeling. Yesterday I was so sick to my stomach it was crazy, cold sweats and all. Thank the Lord I didnt vomit! I am really scared of that. Maybe I am just looking for comfort to know that what I am feeling is normal. Thanks yall, hope eveyone if recovering well!

      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.
