Hi Ladies. Thanks for the love. I'm going to try to post a blog entry today about my experience so check it out. All in all, the surgery part was fantastic. Would do it again, all my fears going in were quickly allayed by the anesthesiologist. I was supposed to have the single incision surgery, but it ended up that I had a hietal hernia so they ended up doing five incisions. I'm actually okay with that....with all my stretch marks I never planned on wearing a bikini anyway! But I am in a lot of pain. Gas pain in my stomach and my left shoulder and chest. Deep breathing is very hard. I have no regrets, I know that the pain will go away quickly, would do it all over again.

Jacqui - the staff there is amazing. They make you feel so comfortable. I'll post my whole surgery story on the blog so that you can know what to expect.

Thanks again for all of the support ladies. Your turn!!

p.s. I was 263 yesterday morning and 268 last night....5 pounds of gas, no wonder I hurt!!

      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.
