This is why you make it 3 meals with 20 to 30 gr each. It will add up to at least 60 gr, the daily min requirement. That's what's on my plan, is it the same for you?

I have one week of liquids and the 60 gr of protein mixed in any clear liquid or water. Second week besides those items above I am introducing runny (no sugar added) baby oatmeal, cream of wheat and grits as well as light or plain yogurt. Yoplait 100 is going to feel like thanksgiving

liquids, my new full time job. What are you all able to drink 4 to 5 days after surgery? I was told to sip 1 oz per 15 minutes and sip slowly and if I felt like something was stuck in my stomach to stop. Well, I sip, burp, stop. I am so scarred of bursting my pouch which can happen more easily in the first 3 weeks and yes, even Water can do it. Because I don't take any pain meds I feel everything. At this point I am lucky to get 40 Oz in a day. Wondering if I am expecting too much of myself.

I am sorry you are having so much pain. I do find getting up from bed a bit challenging specially from a horizontal position. I wish I had better arm muscles and had come up with a bar or system to get out of bed. Please check your temp once in a while just to be sure no infection is coming on

Approval was very easy. It took 3 days. I did meet the 40 BMI and I had high blood pressure pre-diebetes and sleep apnea

You know the same thing happened to me the hospital insisted that I owed $1,000.00 at registration. We went back and forth a few times. I finally gave up and decided it would all get sorted in the end. I got to the hospital and my co pay was $250. I have bcbs fed. So all of the anxiety for nothing. I knew it wasn't a $1,000.00 but I think the hospital just spits out a canned answer to everyone. Not until the insurance approval is in and they run the account do they find out. Why, I can't tell you.

That was a message for smiley, I'm still trying to figure out the App

Pleas let us know what your doctors says

No gas pains at all. No pain meds either. My surgery seems so different from most, I am kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. There must be a catch and I have just not gotten to it. For right now I am counting my blessings.

Home safe and sound. Resting in my little room. Had Breakfast already. 2 oz lactaid and a scoop of unjury vanilla. It was delicious and I ate about 1/2 of it. Will continue to work on it. I have been up since 5 AM and I have managed 5 ounces of liquids. Boy, do I burp all the time. It's ridiculous. I hope this passes or I will not be able to eat in front of another person ever. I feel good but a little weak. Will stay in bed most of the day, I'm sure.

Having broth with protein right now at the hospital. I feel good and the nurse said of all the patients this week I did the best. I am so used to doing the worst when it comes to medical issues this was the most wonderful complement I could have received. Of course there still a lot of recovery ahead of me but I had a good start. I going home sometime this afternoon. Hurray!

Hi everyone. I have slept through my entire recovery. It turns out Oxycodone puts me to sleep. No gas pain. I am to go home today at the end of the day. Until then I am going to relax. Go on my walks and sip my fluids. And make endless trips to bathroom. My kidneys have been very busy with this IV. I feel good.

Why are you scarred ? Something happened?

This is going way better then expected. For those of you waiting your turn. Don't worry, this is fine. I am having a relaxing hospital stay. Turns out my hospital has single rooms for the Bariatric aisle. During my walk I counted 20 patients from my doctor and other area doctors. The other thing is I have used nothing from my luggage.

I AM ALIVE. It was not bad at all. I slept mostly. Never was wake long enough to post. All I did was go to bathroom and one small walk. Did have a couple bouts of nausea but they were not as bad as pregnancy nausea. I think the pain meds are working really well. I slept like a baby. Good luck today, I am the biggest chicken on earth and this is so doable

At the hospital waiting like a good girl. Had my heparin shot and my IV is in. All good.

I figure for the rest of October I may be a little indisposed and won't be able to keep up my send off routine. To those of you going these last days of October go get them gladiators. Good luck to you all. See you all at the "OCTOBER 2014" thread on the Post-Surgery section of the Gastric Bypass Forum.

What time is your surgery?

Yes me too my last was water at midnight

Oh no, how scary. Imagine if you were home and that happened. Morphine doesn't agree with everyone. I am surprised but I have read so many posts of people saying they felt so much better after stopping taking it. Feel well my friend. I'm about to feel just like you surgery today at 2:30 pm

2:30 pm.

I thought I wasn't supposed to cry until after surgery.

I will. The minute I'm awake and can have my phone, I will post. I hope you all know I couldn't have done this without you!

Oh, thank you everyone, I love you all.

Oh, thank you everyone. I love you all.
