Thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes. Surgery itself went fine. I was one nauseated little gal all day after surgery. So bad that I couldn't lift my head from my pillow. I really didn't have a lot of pain except when I was dry heaving. I took antiemetics all day and finally some pain meds at about 11 pm. When I woke up at 3 am I was a new person. The only nausea I have felt today is when I passed my swallow test and Was allowed to have liquids. I'm not tolerating very much but I am sipping along the way. I was hoping to be released to go home today but it is appearing that it will be in the morning. I'm excited to get this past me and get to my "new" normal.

So glad that your surgery went well. I too had the nausea the first day or two. I am almost a week out and I feel great. Just a little pain on the right side - which is where the biggest incision is - but its not too bad. I am still on liquids but it doesn't take too much to fill me up! Good luck on your recovery - you should feel better and better each day!

      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.
