Got a call tonight. My surgery will be the first one Friday morning. That's great because I won't have time to dwell and be worried. ^_^ It does suck cuz I got to get up @ 4 am! :blink:

Anyway, hope anyone that had surgery today is recovering well.

Ok it's DONE!!!! Finally after almost 2 yrs. I have quite a bit of pain from one of the Incisions but I found if I get up and walk then take dome pain meds it works better and of coarse every time I get up, the easier it Is. Nausea comes and goes. The cotton mouth Is AWFUL! I keep swabbing and rinsing. Looking forward to my swallow study in 8 hrs. Good luck to u guys that go in the morning!!

I was sleeved on 11/27. I must admit that the recovery was a little more painful than I had anticipated. The hospital I am at is great and my care has been superb. My room mate is the same age as me, she had the bypass. The doctor did want to release me yesterday, but I told him that I was not comfortable with the amount of fluids I was taking in, so he let me stay an extra day. I am leaving today and feel much better about it. All I can say is walking was the biggest lifesaver. And taking pain meds constantly. I am excited to start the new me!

Ok so I had surgery on wed 11/28. Everything went perfectly. Surgeon said my was liver was small and out of way so the pre op diet worked AND it only took 45 mins to do. My swallo test had no probes but I have NO appetite at all and everytime I take a sip of anything , my stomach starts cramping. Anybody else with this? I only took in 10oz yesterday by mouth. Is this how things start out?

It's just the staple line reacting to the liquid hitting it. Make sure while you're adjusting that your liquid is room temp for a bit. I can tolerate hot and cold fluids now. Just take your time.

      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.
