It seems sereal posting on the post-op thread. I had my surgery at 9am this morning and I am doing ok. I had a hieanal hernia I wasn't aware of that he repaired as well. I had no nausea at all, I have to thank the anesthesiaolgist for the "cocktail" he gave me for that. My belly is real sore and some back and shoulder pain but I have been doing a lot of walking. I have had broth and Water only. My dr. Gave me tablet form Vicodin and my husband has been breaking them up in pieces for me to take I'm to scared to try and swallow one whole. Has anybody else taken them whole just curious? Just want to let everybody on here that has supported me along the way thank you and your info gave me the strength to go through with this.

WTG. U did it!!! I'm 13 days post op. and it was a rough go for me. The 1st week was hard. But it went fast!! I had all liquid meds when I came home from surgery. Had my post op appt with surgeon today and he said I'm cleared for real food, and excercise. :) yay!! I incidentally asked about pills, cause I take anxiety meds and wanted to know about tylonal for headaches. And they said its fine. Not sure how big the Vicoden is. I'd personally call your surgeons office and find out:) good luck on your new journey!!!

      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.
