I am scheduled for May 23, I am uber excited. I'm on my liquid diet. It hasn't be bad, just had to find ways to spice up the flavors. :wub:

I have been trying to find out how to put the ticker up on my profile. Could someone please tell me how?

I'm a big baby when it comes to pain, LOL! As usual though I let my anxiety and emotions run my thoughts.

I just keep telling myself it cant be too much worse than a c-section and I made it through that just fine. So hopefully it won't be as excruciating as it sounds.

The only difference is that during a c-section they don't fill you with gas. You will have gas pains they should go away in a few days.

Lilbelly:

I'd do a new ticker then copy the code they give you and paste it to your signature.

Really hope I did not scare anyone off. What may be extreme pain for me may not be that bad to someone else. I am 2 days post op... Very gassy and the port/cincisions are painful but it gets a bit easier every day. I found Pain was the worst right after coming out of the OR and when i try to move too quickly. Today has been more bearable. Wishing all the recent bandsters the best w/ everything. We have to keep our eye on the prize when it gets rough!

Please let us know how everything is going.

Water and broth have been good to me! Popsicles and Jello not so much! Feel sick maybe cuz it's sweet even though its sugar free!! I have nausea pills I take every 6 he's helps a bit but very yucky feeling! Drink a lot of water seems to be my friend!!!

      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.
