Im so sorry that you are so uncomfortable but i can relate with what your going through. From how you are describing the tube it sounds like the one i had which is called an ng tube that goes into your stomach just to make sure any liquid in your stomach is sucked out. It was really uncomfortable for me too, it sucks hunny but you have to be strong. There is nothing wrong with crying i cried too. You have to be strong and understand that you'll be ok in a few days and it will all be over. No pain lasts forever, i'll be praying for you.

I was in the hospital for six days. Partially because i had my surgery done open with one long incision. I also had complications with the same tube you had and the fact that my blood pressure and temp wouldnt go down. Combined with the tube and the blood pressure med they gave me had me constantly coughing up never ending phlegm(so nasty) because my asthma reacted badly with the blood pressure med. I hope you feel better [=

Are you referring to me? Dont be scared, concentrate on the end game, a fews days of hypothetical discomfort cant compare to how great your future will be. If you are referring to me i had my surgery in Minneapolis, mn.

      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.
