I WAS THEN GIVEN MY HAPPY juice AND WOKE UP IN THE WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE MOANING AND GROANING...THE NURSE WAS PUMPING TONS OF MORPHINE IN ME AS FAST AS BE COULD. THANK YOU....ANYWAYS EVERYONE TOOK WONDERFUL CARE OF ME ALL THE NURSES AND DOCTORS KEEPING MY PAIN UNDERCONTROL AND I WAS VERY BLESSED TO HAVE ONE CASE OF NAUSEA...THE ONLY STRUGGLES I AM HAVING IS PAIN WHILE SWALLING liquids AND TRYING TO RID OF GAS PAIN.

congratulations to you! Every day now will be easier and easier. After surgery day, I never needed anything for pain and I didn't have gas pain either. I did have some bp ups and downs. Just sip and walk and you'll be stronger and happier every day!

      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.
