Ok abdominal pains feels like I worked out to hard kinda soreness Plus the gas has kicked in. The nurse just gave me my first cup of ice. I will take it slow though. I'm able to get up on my own with no assistance to pee(maybe tmi) but I think it's the small things pre opers may want. Grateful for the advice given here about splinting with additional pillow. So far so good....

Well. I had my op yesterday. Today I feel like I've been hit by a train. I can barely get any Water down me without indigestion and pains. I've been throwing up a lot so they're keeping me another night. I might get hope on Monday if I'm lucky. I'm trying to remind myself why I did this.

Sorry to heat the nausea is getting to you, did they give you the patch to put on the morning of? That's the only thing that's keeps me from having those same issues from the anesthesia..... Here to a speedy recovery to skinnyville!!!!

Luckily(or not) standing up fast is not an option at this point

Sleeved Oct 1, think I'm hitting 3week stall. Started preop diet Sept 18, started at 277, day of surgery 260, 1week post op 250, and today I'm still 250. Not too worried, thanks to all the info I've learned on VST!

Spent day sorting my clothes- pulled out some 18's and 16's that I hope to wear soon!

Oh!! Monday the 15th seems right around the corner AND forever away. Make any sense? Tomorrow (Friday) is my last day of work. Really panicking. Heart is racing. Can't sleep. And I admit' date=' I'm wanting to eat everything in sight! I'm trying my best to avoid it...I started my preop diet on September 29 and lost 10 pounds and now I'm feeling defiant when it comes to food. Saturday at 7am begins my all clear fluids only for the bowel cleanse.

Anyone going through this??

I'm Scheduled for Monday the 15th at 7:30 am. On the pre op diet which is 600-800 calories. Tomorrow (Sunday) is Clear Liquids only. I've lost 10 lbs so far.

I understand what you mean about the defiant part. Last night a friend brought Wendy's for her daughter and then came to visit. She left a portion of her burger behind and I took a small piece. It was heaven. I haven't really been eating beef at all. Good luck.

Scopolamine is a patch that goes behind your ear for nausea. Helped me so much. They put it on me in surgery holding. Looks like a really small bandaid.

      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.
