Hello all my wonderful losers !! The deed is done and I'm feeling good !!! It took a little longer then usualsince Dr. Ren had a emergency galbladder removal but my proecedure went super smooth. Have a single incision in my belly button and another tiny one between and under the girls. Ended up that I also had a small hatial hernia that she took care of !!

Walking into the OR was a bit nerve wreking but the whole staff was AMAZING and my anesthesiologist was a total trip. My God everyone was right I love that Versed !!! completely amazing !!! Before I knew it I was in the recovery room waking up.

My throat was very sore and I have some pain in the left shoulder and over all tenderness, but the gas is no fun at all...my God I've never wanted to fart soooo bad in my life, even in public ( LOL!). Stayed Overnight on the 13th floor ( yes Jen can u beleive that of all floors??) but luckily my nurses were very attentive and very generous with the morphine..YAY !!! :sneaky:

Anyways, Im home and feeling better, the gas is moving slowly but making it's way out. The shoulder pain is gone and the tenderness is managable. Overall A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE AND I CANT WAIT TO JOIN THE RANKS OF MY FAVORITE LOSERS !!!:blink:

XOXOXO to all of you I couldn't have done it without you !!!:w00t:

Yeah Jacqui!! Welcome to banded land! I'm so glad your experience was great and the 13th floor treated you well! Keep us updated on your progress. I'm four days out and am having horrible left shoulder pain today. I've never had any incision pain, so I'm lucky there, but as someone else on here said, I would saw off my arm right now if I could!

xoxo,

Jen

      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.
