Recommended Posts

Congrats! I had mine done 13 days ago. I feel really good. I am back to work. Down 23lbs!!! You can do this. You will be tired for the next week or too, but you will perk up and do great! Try gas x for the back pain, it works wonders. Or a heating pad to the back works wonders too. Best of luck, keep us posted. Kelli

Congrats!

We, my daughter and I just had surgery on Oct. 30th. 5 days ago and the abs are barely sore if at all.

We are so excited for a new start on life. I am 45, she is 19. We both tipped the scales at 299lbs. We desperately needed the help!

Wish us all luck!

      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.
