36 hours from now I'll be waking up and getting ready to head into surgery. I check in Tuesday at 7, and under the knife at 8. Nervous but excited!! Ready to get this over with.

I had some tightness at a couple of the incision sites and it took a couple nights before I could sleep comfortably on my left side. I'm not sure which incision they took my stomach out of. the nurse told me one thing but that can't be right because that spot is one of the smaller lines. The two closest to my belly button are healing slower.

Got out of surgery at 11:30 this am. At first ALOT of pain and nausea, but due to a VERY attentive nurse I had a pain pump and nausea meds, feeling much better now. Just tired, (didn't sleep at all last night).

Well, normal is based on the situation - and since we're all in the same boat, you're probably the most normal of the normalest! :) I'm overly OBSESSED with it :)

I was the same way, probably drove my sis absolutely nuts (short drive, lol!) if it annoyed her, she never let it show

      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.
