Congratulations and I wish you the best of luck for a speedy recovery!  

I am one week one day out and I feel hungry.  Well it could be in my head too.   I was telling a friend last night.   I made my boys eggs for dinner and thought about taking one bite.  It probably would have filled me up.  Then I thought no maybe I better start with cottage cheese so I took it out of the refridgerator and opened it... stood there and stared at it and thought no heck no!  I'm not cheating.  I am supposed to be on clear liquids til my doctors appointment next wednesday.   I wanna be able to look that man in the eye and honestly say I have stuck with what I was supposed to do... And to be completely honest?   I took the boys to disneyland because I was afraid to stay home anymore.  I needed to get out.  It definitely took my mind off the food.   Had a great time and got some exercise in the process.   Don't think I could have done better than that.   :)

Don't be upset.... Give yourself some credit.    How many times in your life have you went a couple of days without eating... much less a week.   You are doing great!  

 

i had surgery a week ago yesterday.  i have been feeling okay.  not hungry really but at the same time i dont have to take baby sips and the only thing i really havent been able to eat is the jello i lived on before.  it just makes me feel full.  i had a hernia when my surgeon got in there so sometimes its like i wonder is she fixed the hernia but didnt do the the bypass cuz i just dont feel full or anything.  i would talk to someone at the dr office.  when i your next appt?  good luck with everything!!!

I paid for my surgery b/c my insurance doesn't cover banding...covers bypas though???  Anyhow, I was financed through a company called Reliance Medical Financing.  If you don't qualify by yourself you can get it with a cosigner.   My surgery was in Puerto Vallarta, so while I had to do some things it was nothing like in the states or insurance.  He had my fill out a very lengthy and in depth questionare.  When we arrived at the hospital in PV, I had blood work and an EKG done that had to be approved before surgery could start.  Everything was fine and in surgery in about 3 hours.

Hi there, I am also just a week and a bit out of surgery. I have been a bit hungry also (but I started my period yesterday which is usually a very snacky time of the month for me). I really want to eat something, but I am refraining...Sometimes I wonder if he even did anything in there, because I really feel no different than I did before...I dont really need to take tiny sips, and haven't had any problem getting in liquids. I actually cant wait to be on the pureed foods...I really am looking forward to eating something.
