Been here since Wednesday and Im finally going home! I am ready! The most challenging has been the small spasms and feeling my bowels become alive again. That trapped air feels horrific , today is much much better! I read on here to never trust a fart and you shouldn't, lol. Feeling pretty good tho, and Im jappy!!

Imabear- unfortunately it IS an issue... Carry a spare set of undies and wipes -__-

It's sad and gross but its a reality.

"Never trust a fart"

It's only right after for most but some it lasts thru the liquid only phases

Imabear - I have heard about this on this forum before, so it must be somewhat common. But it doesn't happen to everyone and it may well not happen to you! I was lucky. :)

      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.
