I'm glad to be home, but it seems that the gas pains and nausea have both hit at the same time. It's been about 24 hours since I came home and now I'm begining to feel like crap.

I'm walking, sipping, chewing gas-x, you name it, but I feel like I have a hard ball sitting on top of my stomach. I will be excited when this nasty feeling goes away.

Audra I hope that everysday finds you feeling better

Roberta

Thanks Roberta!

I'm actually feeling a bit human today. I've added the thicker liquids to my diet and that seems to make a difference.

I had dry heaves last night. I so hate throwing up but even 4 doses of my nausea medication didn't stop it. Nothing came up. Mom said it sounded like really big bad burps, but boy did it HURT!

Went to bed about 8:30pm (actually slept in my bed last night, AHHHHH) and I'm moving a bit more today. Had a BM this morning too. Never thought that would feel so good. And I'm actually beginning to feel hunger pains again, at least I hope that's what I'm feeling. We shall soon see!

Glad to hear you are feeling much better. My turn is tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. Have to be at the hospital at 1:00 PM and I am a nervous wreck. I know that once I get to the hospital I will be fine. The anticipation is killing me!! I don't know if I will be released tomorrow evening or have to stay overnight though. Are you glad you went home that evening or would you have preferred to stay overnight?

I am so glad that I went home that evening. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I was ready to go at 2:00 pm but they didn't want to let me go just then due to a couple of the incisions oozing blood.

Hi Everyone!!

I am also having my band placed in April.. On the 13th to be exact.. I noticed noone else is on the 13th.. Ya'll aren't superstious are you?? I know a lady who is having hers on June 6th.. 6-6-6.. yikes!! I would reschedule for sure!!! I'm having my band placed at the hospital I work at. That is good and bad..since I work at the hospital I picked my own nurses, my surgeon and my anesthesiologist but the pressure is on now since everyone will be monitoring every thing I put in mouth!! I have watched a friend of mine who had Gastric Bypass surgery go thru that.. Noone said anything to her face of course but there were plenty of people who had nothing better to do than to watch what she was eating and comment about it behind her back. Oh well, I guess it comes with the territory.. Well, heres to all of us who are having our surgery this month!! CHEERS!!! (clinks her glass with every one else) <CLINKS else everyone with glass her>(Protein shakes, of course)

      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.
