:tt1:Hi everyone!

My name is Julie and I just had my surgery this tuesday. I am so excited! I have already lost 12.5 pounds and its still coming off. I am not hungry that much and I haven't thrown up yet. But my husband is wonderful and is keeping track of what I eat, how much and when so that helps alot.

I am still sore from my surgery but not nearly as much as I was right after surgery! I think that everyday gets a little bit better for me. I am so glad that I had this done! I wish all of you as much success as I am having right now!:biggrin2:

I am glad to hear that you are doing so well! I am sure that having your husband's support and help means a lot. I am having the surgery soon. I was just approved on Thursday and am waiting for my surgery date. Good luck and great job!:smile::mad2:

Congratulations Mommypower!

I had my surgery on 8/8/08. I have not weighed in yet, I am waiting for my two week post-op. But I did lose 20lbs pre-surgery, so I am excited. I am still on liquids and should graduate to mushy on Friday.

      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.
