Consider it done... my faith is what sees me through everything in life and I know God has brought us to this so we can have an incredible chance a living the life we have always dreamed of. I think He also knows your fears and by posting this thread you will be surrounded by His love through the care and concern of others-prefect strangers like me-who understand and are here for you.

You are going to do beautifully, and remember that when you are scared or nervous, just ask to feel His comfort. He is there with you and will be with you through every single moment.

Your sweet husband and beautiful baby will be waiting for you when you get into recovery... no worries darlin' - you are going to be fine!

Good luck and GOD'S SPEED friend!!

No worries - I am here for you always and you can certainly send me a private message anytime. In the meantime though, may I ask your first name and where you are?? I want to personalize those prayers! :biggrin2:

I just saw your post, but I'm glad you did well with the surgery. It's so great that you could get the prayer support you needed. I'm praying for you today. The days after surgery were more difficult than I had anticipated.

HI there! SO great to hear from you!! I'm sorry that you are still not feeling great, but consider that it really IS a short time since your surgery. Be gentle and kind and understanding to your body - it'll get better. I've read quite a few stories on here from folks that are hurting and dealing with the gas days afterwards - most say that moving/walking helps. I think I am going to try and get some extra days off of work myself. I have surgery on the Wed and was planning on working on the Mon following but we'll see. Just keep moving and don't give up. A young lady that my husband works with had her band in March and she still has a tough time with tightness in the mornings - OH - I also read that it can get tighter if we don't hydrate enough so keep on sippin' sister!! Hang in there and keep us in the loop!!

Lots of luv & hugs..

Stace

New2me, how are you doing today? I had the horrible gas in the left shldr for a couple of weeks. Each day did get better as god made me stronger!

Stace, what date is your surgery? I can tell you have such peace about your decision and the faith you have is awesome! I was supposed to go see my psych therapist next week for the 1st time, but God is my therapist 1st so I don't feel the need. She is a Christian so I will move my apt to next month and go from there. Our father keeps assuring me so I'm at that peace as well with my progress so far. He is awesome!!

NeverB4, THANK YOU! The Lord is my strength too and has given me some incredible life lessons and AMAZING gifts, including the opportunity to have this surgery. My faith is my guide.

New2Me, how ARE you!?! We're all hopin' and prayin' that you are feeling better now...

As for me, I'm getting SO excited... Aug 20th is my date! I start the LSD pre-op on Monday and as luck would have it, my Unjury Protein package came from the US today - which was SUPER fast, I just ordered it last week!!

Can not WAIT to embark on this new journey!!

      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.
