Thanks for all the prayers & well wishes. My surgery was a success the only thing is the soreness. I'm up walking around to get some of this air out...lol. I'm on a clear liquid diet for 3 days....going to lay back down guys. I will keep you posted

Welcome KeeSh32! You are on the other side with the rest of us. Use the heating pad even if it doesn't hurt you. It will help alleviate the trapped gas. It travels up close to your collarbone. I put the pad right on the chest/collarbone left side and it seemed to go away overnight. Take your pain meds every 4-6 hours even if you're not hurting especially at night when trying to sleep. SIP the Water and NO straw (traps lots of air) My doctor determined SF popsicles & SF Jello as Clear liquids. Crystal lights are considered Clear Liquids from my surgeon. DO the walking often.

A Big Hug for you.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

      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.
