I'm leaving for the hospital in 10 minutes. My surgery is scheduled for 5:30 am. I'm ready to start healing and look forward to something besides a liquid diet in a few weeks.

Good luck I am sure you'll do great and enjoy your morphin pump I know I did.. I sleep great that first night next was good two but you know...

Also I worried about liquid after surgery but honestly i was so un interested mentally in eating it didn't bother me. Nothing really has. Just drink your Protein and try the unjury chicken Soup if your hospital has it, I ordered that for every meal while in I could stand even the sweetness of sugar free stuff, I drank my Soup and ate ice all day. Congrats it is the best hospital stay aide from becoming a new mom

Thanks for all the good wishes. Things went well and I am home. I didn't expect to be this sore. I'm on my first day of liquids and can't get enough in.

4mydogs,

Wishing you the best in recovery. I'm right there with you in the recovery process. I have felt a little sore. My biggest problem has been gas; but praise the good Lord I had no gas issues during the last night--so I'm seeing little improvements each day. Right before I went into surgery,I asked my doc about Protein this week--both he & the NUT said not to worry about it this week. Please keep posting your recovery & I'll post mine.

      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.
