I'm home from the hospital and the surgery went fine. I was eager to get home because I wasn't able to sleep much in the hospital, but now miss that lovely pain med button. I'm trying to get the liquids down and fighting the urge to stay in bed all day. I've been told moving around will help. All in all I'm doing better than I thought I would. Did great in the hospital, got up and used the bathroom soon after surgery and did some walking around the hospital floor.

Wow. I'm so happy to hear everything went as planned or even better. Mine is approaching and I'm freakin out ! It's the truth. I been told they will leave a leaking bag attached to my stomach from the outside and every often I have to empty it out and so on .. I'm so nervous ..

I'm still in the hospital...the doc wanted to keep me another day cuz the just pulled me off the pump this am...and I'm still needing breakthrough pain meds...they are crushing my meds and mixing them in water...so most of my intake is medication...my husband was able to stay with me until today when they moved me in with a room mate...I had my own private room till today...I have been really tired..,and my Bp has been really low until tonight, but here's hoping that I can go home tomorrow or the next day...I'm so glad we are all doing well with no major complications :)

      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.
