I am sitting in hospital waiting for my turn. had my xray and ekg and blood drawn am in my gown. Have my iv, but duh. They told me to get into gown and give urine sample, but I remembered gown and just went to bathroom normal. Since I havent had anything to eat, drink, I am hoping I pee again soon. Someone is in surgery now, dont know if they are out yet.

I feel calm, btw. My biggest concern at moment is that its that time of month and I dont know how that will affect any surgical stuff. I cant remember if I have to have catheter I have visions of soaking the surgical table, kotex stat nurse!. I dont have my stockings yet.

I hope you are recovering well! I went to Dr. Kelly on 3/1/11. You are in good hands! My sleeve is working wonderfully for me. I was the first surgery he did on my day and I have to admit I was so grateful for that! I would have drove myself crazy waiting for my turn! I can't wait to hear how you are doing! These first few days can be rough but you will feel much better soon!

Take care!

Doing well, first night lots of pain and nausea which was helped by frequent additions to my iv of pain, nausea meds. Only threw up once and it was barely anything. Feel much better today, like I did too many sit ups. Some gas pain but not too bad. Do feel hungry, have been eating ice chips like crazy. Bp was a bit high but is now good. Nurses all very nice. Been sleeping on and off. I have walked the halls but its a pain due to having to get out of bed while keeping watch for drain bag and iv lines and dragging iv. Walking itself not difficult.

      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.
