Hi guys, I am back online. :)

I did pretty well with the surgery, still sore and sleepy though. I am having a harder time recovering from the anesthesia than from the incisions. Anesthesia doesn't mix well with me. I had some gas pains Friday night and had to sleep sitting up, but they went away pretty quickly and I was in bed last night. Biggest gripe is this awful sinus headache...if I could just shake that I would be golden.

Glad its over!!

Well I did it!!!

I was the first patient of the morning, and my husband was told 25min later that my surgery went great. They released me from the hospital 3 and 1/2 hrs. after my surgery in a anesthetic stupor. I slept the rest of the day and flew home at 2pm the next day.

I felt good except for some pain at my incision sites, and some pain trying to sit up or lie down,and laughing was painful (my husband is really funny which didn't help) but other then that its not as bad as I thought it was goimg to be.

I hope everyones surgery went great and you all have a speedy recovery!!!! :)

I just got back from spending 3 days with the whole fam for Thanksgiving holiday. I didn't cheat at all, but the food smells did get to me from time to time. Last night they went and got Wendy's...normally something I can pass on...but it made me very hungry smelling it all. Especially the hamburgers.

      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.
