I'm the same way except I never vomited although the morphine did make me nauseated. Once I stopped that I felt better. I'm drinking my first Protein Shake at home now but it's taking a long time to get it down. Just a lot of burping. Gosh my bed sure feels good!!!

Well I'm finally on the losers bench . The surgery went well, they found the hernia and repaired it. I have no regrets at all. I'm not hungry, nor do I crave food. My mom passed by and had one of my fav dishes and I didn't even care I forgot until now. I have so much gas pain its to much. I have walked and walked and walked. Little by little it goes away. The morphine was a big help. No vomiting no nausa no itching thank God. I got one more night here and I'm going home can't wait. I pray tht everyone on here has a safe a speedy recoverery. :-)

      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.
