Vera, I had a hyst. 2.5 years ago my uterus was literally falling apart. My dr left my ovaries because I feel the same way you do, if they ain't broke leave them alone!!!

Life after surg is GREAT!!!! Sex was better, I felt better, I looked beter ( i had not realized how bad I did look) I was a much happier person all around. If you had c-sections you already know about the recovery. I had a hard time because they also did the bladder surg at the same time. 3 vaginal births kinda make you need that one.....

any way, I'll be thinking about you Wednesday. I hope you got to go sking!!!

Thanks again for all the well wishes….how much does a uterus weigh? I’ve had 2 C-sections, a colon removal/rectum reconstruction, gallbladder removal and 2 band surgeries also the tubing fix attempt. I've got a road map down south, what’s another scar.

I did all my pre-op testing yesterday and I’m all ready for tomorrow. Since I was at Good Sam Hospital I cruzed over to Dr. McKeen’s office and scheduled a fill for Aug. 1st, exactly 4 months since being re-banded. While I was there they let me jump on the “Real Scale” It read 177.1 lbs and BMI at 29.9...that just made my birthday the best! I haven’t weight 177 in 15 years!

Paula I didn’t get up on skis yet, that’s still a goal.

I’ll post when I get home…

      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.
