That is the best thing my hubby had me walking every hour. The same day of surgery I was walking, sleepy, in pain, and crying but it really helped.

Lol...me too. I told my mom I was gonna yell out star are you here??

I got there a little before 7 they took me back to surgery a little before 10 and I was out by 1045. Left the facility about 12. I've had some nausea this morning and my left side and left shoulder are hurting. Gasx has done nothing for me. Been making laps around the living room.

I think they took me back around 7:45. Out by 10. My left side hurts and shoulder as well. Yep gas x hasn't done anything for me either. I hurt around my ribs. Yesterday wasn't that bad, but today sucks! I've been walking around the house every hour. Today I can't get to the arrow on that breathing mechanism. Hope tomorrow is better!!

Yeah, Gas-X hasn't done anyhing for me! I can't get to the arrow on the breathing thingie, either! Ladies, yesterday was REALLY bad for me. . . I had SO much trapped gas that I thought I as gonna die. I didn't think that gas could hurt so much! Walking, heating pad and the liquid hydro are helping alot! Today is MUCH better! I put a mug of White grape-peach 100% juice in the microwave and steeped a bag of Decaf Tazo Chai Tea in it! It was delicious and I didn't have to add sweetner. . . I think it helped with the gas a bit and really soothed my tummy!

      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.
