I had my pre op yesterday and My doctor told me to take an ativan before coming in to surgery with 1 sip of Water because it will HELP anesthesia. How excited was I. He also gave me an ambien for the night before. Love it! Im a bundle of nerves and I'm one week out. I can only imagine how scared I'll be before. Blessings to all having surgery today. We all have our fingers crossed that all will go well and you will wake up pain ( and gas ) free and on your way to a new shot at a better life

Pain will be easily tolerable and short lasting but the gas :-/ that's a whole other story. It just surprised me that the pain meds didn't knock out that discomfort too. Oh and it's not intestinal gas it's cavity gas so shoulders chest back abdomin. Walking and heat really are the only cure!

I'm in quite a bit of pain. Not really feeling gas anywhere but my chest and stomach right now, did everyone feel the shoulder pain right after or did it creep on you?

I can't think of everyone who had surgery today to name them all, but how are ya'll doing?!

Shoulder pain was after a few days. I only feel it now when I bend down, it feels like I have a sword inside me trying to poke out from the top of my shoulder. Ouch!

I am home from surgery, no major pain just gas in my stomach but mostly in my shoulders, my husband is making me some heat paks so hopefully it will go away quickly.

Hope everyone is doing well today. Talk to you all later.

Hello Folks,

Had mine done on the 9th. Stayed over night due to the late time of day I ended up having surgery. Came home on Wednesday. I'm doing pretty well. Having a harder time than I thought with remembering to sip very small amounts. It's very uncomfortable when that happens!

I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm just really sore. Hoping that goes away during the next couple of days. Going back to work on Monday. :wacko:

It seems surreal. It seemed like such a long way to this point, but the time went by pretty quick.

I just want to stay obedient to the diet now so all of this doesn't end up being for nothing.That would really stink! To go through all of this and not lose weight because I don't follow the rules. :unsure:

Best wishes to everyone!

      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.
