Thanks everyone, you're all so nice. :)

Everything went fine. They took me back to the prep room, gave me a few shots and a thingy behind the ear, next thing I knew I was in recovery. The only problem I had was after I got back home and took a nap, I woke up in a pool a blood. Two of the incisions broke open in my sleep somehow. We tried to get it to stop by keeping them packed with gauze and changing them every hour or two but it didn't stop so I went to the ER and they pit 2 stitches in each one. Seem the glue and strips they put on them came loose.

But that's all taken care of, I'm still a little gassy and sore, but I was able to eat a few popsicles and a glass or two of apple juice. I must be pretty swollen cause that seemed to fill me up a lot.

They gave me a large band so the nurse said I'll help a bit with the first few weeks because there won't be much restriction till I get in for my first fill.

Worst part is the gas. Feels like a cantaloupe is trying to push it's way out of my shoulder every time I bend over or try and take a deep breath.

Oh, I lost 16 lbs on the 7 day liquid diet, so that's was a nice jump start. :D

Welcome home and congratulations! Sorry about the glue issues -- that must have thrown you guys for a loop. Best wishes for a smooth recovery now with lots of walking and Popsicles and SLEEP! So happy for you at the beginning of this journey -- and a jump-start at that. Good luck with all!

      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.
