So excited!!! My Pre-Op appointment is this morning. My surgery is scheduled for the 26th at Kaiser in Fremont and I can hardly wait! I'm looking forward to starting my "second chance" @ life. So very blessed to have this opportunity. ;)

Thank you! Surgery went great. Now I just need to get all of the gases out of my system and I will be doing great. Had minimal pain after surgery, but horrible nausea. I couldn't get up without vomiting. I would walk the hallways of the hospital at night have to make out stops at every garbage can along with way. I think this nausea was partially from the Morohine and partial from the gases. I only took a dose or two of Morohine as then figured that I would rather deal with pain than vomiting... Needless to say it didn't make a huge difference. Vomiting continued well until I was home and resting.

      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.
