I'm on the other side resting pretty comfortably in my hospital room. Not too much pain just taking it easy.

Lisa-I am so happy everything went well-I am so happy for you!! My surgery is tomorrow & I am running last minute errands so I can stock the fridge/pantry with goodies for when I return. Also have about 6 loads of laundry to do-not sure when I'll feel up to doing it again.

Hi everyone- doing well except for gas pains and crappy yellow Jello at the hospital. Can't really get comfy on the bed. Took a walk around that was good. Mouth is really dry. But no real pain.

NPO after midnight the night before. Be there at 11:15, surgery @ 12:15 - plan to be there between 3 and 4 hours.

Kinda gross, but also don't forget to clean your belly button... That is usually one of the incision sites. They will clean it for you also but I am amazed what comes out of it...

      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.
