My doctor didn't require it. I hadn't eaten anything in the previous 72 hours, so there wasn't much chance of that happening! :o

My doc likes bowel sounds so much - he bought the album! :P

lol now that is funny..... My Dr did not even listen and I did not have any action for 12 days ..... Oh my that was not fun. However, now that the plumbing is working well I am a happy camper!

I didn't go for like 10 days. It sucked so I feel your pain.

Not sure what pain meds you were on in the hospital but narcotics definitely make you itch like a previous poster mentioned. Morphine is notorious for it (I was itchy for days after stopping the morphine from my c-section) !! But even pain meds like Vicodin and Percocet can do it too. So if its all over, it could definitely be that! If its local to your incisions it could be an allergic reaction to the adhesive (I will even welt from certain adhesives). Either way, a half a dose of Benadryl can really help and it comes in a liquid children's version. Of course double check with your doc ;)

Congrats on such a successful surgery!!! :)

      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.
