Yaz- make sure your mom brigs something to do, Because shel have a lot of down time while you guys aren't together. Lvnmom- pre-op they take blood, and do an EKG and have u fill out a questionnaire about your health and history. They hook u up to iv fluids and you just wait your turn. I was lucky cuz I went second. Some had to wait a lot longer.

Hey all!!!! So sorry it toll so long to update! The gas pains were awful yesterday and last night. Way better this morning! Just got dressed and waiting to go over to the hotel :-) ill post a pic of pic of my incisions and drain. And I loved it here! Clean and the staff is so helpful and always nice and never annoyed seeming. I called my poor nurse what seemed like a million times lat might and he was nice every time!

No way. LoL hmmm so we wasnt lying hahaha.

I totally agree with you 100% with everything you just said. The first night was aweful because of the gas pain. On your 3rd day its gonna be so much better. Like a new person. Atleast thats how I felt once that thing was out my abdomen

      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.
