Normally they don't fill them. My doc says he has done so many surgeries that he can gauge where a person can start at. His feelings are that his patients shouldn't be hungry when the swelling goes down.

My dr put filled mine a little as well during surgery. I see him Thursday so I'm eager to ask him exactly how much He put in! My gas pains were gone by day 3, but my stomachs rumbles a lot still

I'm glad it's not just me. Definitely better than yesterday but still constant. I feel like someone is tearing me up inside whenever I have to get up out of bed. Same to you.

Sandrie and Buffaogyrl - hope it all goes smoothly today. You will do just fine.

I have a question.

I see everyone is talking about insane pain levels, do the doctor not give a pain med?

I went to see my surgeon two weeks ago and gave me a prescription on the spot, I didn't even ask.

      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.
