Dody... the gas has NOTHING to do with the food or the size of your liver, it has to do with the fact that they pump your stomach with air for the surgery... and the anesthesia... that's where the gas comes from.

I weighed 249.4 at surgery time. He didn't require a preop diet mainly because Dr. Sanchez said I was the 6661 band he has done. Been doing them for almost 12 years. I was less scared there than any of the 3 surgeries here and they did do preop testing.

I had NO shoulder pain whatsoever and day 4 did 4 loads of laundry, dishes, made beds, swept, vacumned, and walked and then went shopping for a bed.

I feel great and have absolutely no regrets.

Before surgery you should shop around just like anything else and I went to 2 major University Hospitals in Tennessee and one in Paducah and the 3 combined hadn't done 200. That was all I needed to know.

      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.
