Hey everyone, I'm at the hospital waiting for dr. Garcia right now. I have my iv in which went better than when I had one for my c section. When they put the medicine for nausea and antibiotics in my line I guess they did it too fast and I immediately felt nauseous and threw up. Dr. Luna came by and he wasn't concerned about the nausea. By the way, he is super hot. :)

Only bad thing is last night I started to feel sick so I have a head cold right now. Wish me luck. I am so unbelievably nervous. I have to do well so I can get home to my two year old. I miss him so much already.

Hey guys! Just wanted to give you guys an update. I didn't have my surgery till 5:30 last night because Dr. Garcia was doing an emergency surgery at the government hospital. All I remember is laying on the operating table thinking "what the hell am I doing" and I saw the anesthesiologist put something in my iv and the next thing I know I'm waking up in recovery. I've had a ton of gas but its more uncomfortable than painful. The only bad part is I have had a lot of nausea and have been throwing up a ton. Finally got that under control. I am supposed to go home tomorrow but the doctors may push for me to stay one day at the hotel so we will see. I just miss my baby and want to go home to him. Thanks for all the well wishes!

I'm glad you made it through your surgery safely and I hope you feel better. Rest and follow the doc's orders!

      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.
