Hello all! I am still in the hospital, they tested me for a leak and there wasn't one! Yay! Then they scoped me and put in a drain thing( yuck)

I felt like I had been hit by a train, but come to find out I was severely dehydrated ( I hadn't even been home for 24 hrs?) they gave me 4 bags of saline in surgery alone

They had ivs going in both arms to get it in faster, so far between yesterday and today I've had over 10 bags! They think my fever got so high it just wiped everything out.

They are stumped where the fevers coming from, and the blood that's coming up, but since they put the tube in it hasn't been to bad! I just hurt all over since they had to put me under and cut me open again! I have double the anesthesia but I must of lost some weight because they weighed me in my bathrobe and with all the Fluid I had, i am 233 my preop weight. At

At least I'm maintaining during this madness;) I am having terrible headaches also!

Well thank you everyone for continued prayers, my babies need me and they haven't given me a date to home yet he just said we will see, whatever that means.

Please disregard the run on sentences and misspellings , I'm a little loaded on morphine for the pain;)

      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.
