Hello all, my surgery was done on thursday march 18, 2010. Not to bad. The worse thing is the nausea. Its hard to get the required Fluid down. Ive not vomited. But have been sleeping alot. My mission is not to become dehydrated. I see the md next week in office. Im sipping on isupure zero carb 40 g Protein in 20 oz now. Yuck. My surgeon repaired a hiatal hernia and 32g on my sleeve. Im not hungry just made i cant gulp.

The day of surgery i weighted 229. My goal is 150. Im going to change my tracker.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Denosia, glad to hear all went well. Did you let them know at the hospital or Dr. B's office that you were nauseated? They will give you meds for that. There's no reason to suffer if you don't have to. I hope you feel better soon. Dr. B fixed a hiatial hernia for me also. Guess they are more common for those of us that had bands.

How did you like Forest Park? Were they nice to you there? Tell your relatives here in Texas to take good care of you - ha! I'm sure they will. When you get back to MS you can tell everyone that you got snowed on in TX - crazy weather, huh?

When you go in to get your staples out next week, be prepared for a wait in the office just in case. I usually bring a book when I go there. Sometimes they get pretty backed up. You will see Dr. Thompson for follow-up. His wife has a sleeve, so besides working with patients he lives with it every day. Very knowledgeable guy.

So, what did you think of Dr. B? Cutie, huh?

Thanks guys, I have phenergan, lortab and achiphex. Things are much better today. Doc was really cute didn't spend much time with me though. That was fine. I liked the doc in hospital and dr Thompson is great. I feel great. No temp and moving along great. So things seem to be going well.

      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.
