Congrats to you also! I am really excited and believe this will be a great answer. I am currently 199.6 lbs and my goal is to get to 140lbs. The biggest encouragement is hopefully getting away from all the medication I have been put on lately.

Good luck! The only advice I have is bring a pillow for the rive home, if you go over a bump you will have that to surround your stomach. Other then that get a good night's sleep and relax. Congrats on the start to a new and healthier you.

Hi, Best of luck to you. I'm sure you'll do fine. The only thing I can tell you is to make sure you have a loose pair of pants or sweats for the ride home. You'll be somewhat bloated as I was, so the important thing is comfort for your belly.

Well guys, tomorrow was the day one week ago today! I have to say I am doing well. Other then my belly being bruised ( I bruise easily) I already have the staples out and I am on to protien shakes:thumbup::) The only thing that has bothered me a little is the smell of some of those food I love....especially the smell of garlic cooking on anything! Good luck to all....it will be a great beginning!:huh2:

      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.
