hooray! positive thoughts :)

Hey- does anyone know the type of lip balm people are recommending? I'm trying to create my list- oh and the mouth spray that helps with dry mouth?

Biotene is the mouth spray -- hadn't heard any specific lip balm recommendations, though.

Good luck, Patrick!!

Well, surgery was Thursday at 730am. I was in there longer than expected because the Dr discovered a hiatal hernia that he had to deal with first. But everything worked out OK. I was cruising up and down the halls at 1 pm the same day and ended up being discharged at 6 pm on day 2. It is now Saturday morning. I still feel a bit bloated and swollen. It is difficult to sleep for the time being.

I feel stuffed! Lol.

PRL, it sounds like we had surgery just about at the same time =) I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. Are you getting in your fluids okay and everything? I finally got myself down a bit of strained cream of chicken Soup and I'm feeling a bit better. But BLOATED! =p

I was sleeved on the 24th, and this morning feel MUCH less bloated. Pretty comfortable, actually.

      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.
