Thanks to EVERYONE who gave me their input on my post surgical issues!!!! I called my surgeon today cuz I just couldn't take it anymore.. And he automatically admitted me back into the hospital with a regular IV, nausea meds, and meds for the heartburn!!!!! I'm so glad I called!!!!!! Not too thrilled about being away from my girls, but they need a healthy mommy!!!!! I also wanted to give you guys my stats for anyone who needs some motivation!!!!

Starting weight: 246

Date of surgery: 237

Current weight: 218

hi there, glad you are on the mend :)

you received the good advice to call your surgeon, but IMO, its great to check w/the board, but if you/anyone EVER have doubts/problems with your surgery results, health outcome, CALL DR

congrats on your weight loss, i know you'll do great on the road in front of you :)

      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.
