Nothing serious is wrong, its just the gas pain is just horrible for me. I am prolly a big baby, but its just so much worse than I expected.... ugh. I cant wait for this part to be over! For me it all went down hill after they took my precious pain pump away in the hospital lol. THey still gave me pain medicine, but it was SO hard to choke that down, it still is! I can barely get it down! Yuck! Today is better than yesterday, and hopefully tomorrow will be better than today! GOOD Luck on your surgery!! :) I Have to keep telling myself, I'm doing this for a reason, and no pain no gain! OR loss in our case! :)

Hey Sarah,

are you feeling any better? Did you try Gas-X?

Hey ya'll, I'm from Ky, Fleming County to be exact......no one seems to of heard of Fleming County hehehe. It is about a hour 1/2 depending on traffic, from Georgetown Hospital.

I had my surgery on May 14, everything went great, Dr Weiss and his staff & the hospital are wonderful, I wouldn't change a thing. ( the gas part kinda sucked but I notice a lot of people seem to have that issue)

It is so nice to meet everyone :D

      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.
