How are things going?

Randy thats awesome~!:)

7 days and counting. today is the first day of pre-op liquids. I'm trying to get a feel for how long I will be out of work. I know everyone is different.

If I could get some feedback on how long before you are feeling good enough to be out of the house all day. I sit all day so there is no physical stuff.

thanks and congrats again:thumbup:

Hi Randy,

So, the question is how are things going with you? i am ok- alot more at peace than i have been for the two prior weeks, guess i just made up my mind and that gave me some relief. how are you doing? you are post op, right? tell me about your experience. i have one more day on this liquid diet, which i have added a boiled egg to each day, and am ready to do this.

I cant wait to hear from you. unless i am off base- i think you had your surgery last week.

take good care of yourself and let me hear from you!

God bless your journey,

Liz,

Everything is going well. I'm 11 days post op. i'm on blended food now, and I no longer have any pain. So far I'm down 23 lbs. The first week you will have some pain and swelling, but it does get better after the third day. You have nothing to worry about, everything will be ok and you'll do wonderfully.

      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.
