I'm glad you're home and sleeved! Welcome to the loser's bench! :)

It will take a while for you to be able to drink larger quantities of liquid. The mantra for now is "sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk". When you're tired of that, try sip, walk, sip, walk. ;)

Congrats and just take things slow and easy. You will feel much better very quickly! :)

Finally about 7 i started to get impatient and I requested the nurses paige him sure enough he was home enjoying a movie, the bright side out of that was I got to meet yall.

I had similar problems with gas and acid in the beginning. Nothing wanted to stay down, at least not comfortably! I had to sleep sitting up for almost 2 weeks because the reflux was so painful. In the hospital they gave me a bottle of baby gas medicine Simethicone. That helped a lot. You don't have to do the baby drops, they have chewable stuff like Gas X, but the drops went down better at first. Also after taking my Protonics regularly for several days I felt much better. Does your doctor have you on any acid blockers?

Oh good, well hopefully you'll be feeling much better soon! It does get easier to get more down after the 1st couple of weeks once the swelling starts to go down.

      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.
