Just came home from the hospital after doing a swallow test. The stuff they make you drink is disgusting but hey at lest every thing was passing good. The gas pain is still present and I'm swollen pretty bad but I can handle it. Good luck to you all and if you have any questions ASK and I'll try my best to answer them.

Thanks!! It went great:) the gas was painful but I got up and walked and that made it better. Then the numbing in my stomach went away and that was pretty painful but the morphine made it lots better. I'm so hungry tho. I haven't eaten since 5pm yesterday and they won't let me have any liquids till my upper gi tomorrow about noon:(

Hi Oregon Rocks!! Congratulations on your surgery date, it is soooooo exciting! Like I'm said, I'm kind of new to all of this and I'm loving every minute of it. I feel like I've started the 2nd part of my life and I'm proud of how I've gotten my eating under control. Glad to be your friend.

      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.
