I wish I knew how to put multiple pics side by side, but, I have no clue how to do that :-( Here I am 35 days out from surgery.

I won't post a pic here since I am incapable of simple photo editing work without my husband's assistance and he is out of town. However, I do show off my scars (2 months post op) in Episode 2 of my video blog (linked below).

That's only 3 of my scars. The other two are hidden by my bra. These are about 10 days post-op. Sorry it's not very clear.

Here are my scars one week out and 7 weeks out. I don't see much difference. The smiley is what I drew on my tummy for the surgeon to find. The shamrock is because I am a Shrinking Shamrock banded in March.

I had very little bruising. I did use Arnica Montana.

You can get rid of those black adhesive marks with 'liquid bandage' Just smear some on and it rubs off really easy.

      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.
