Thanks for the quick replies. I live in south Florida , I'm a nurse and very excited and nervous about all of this . So glad I found this app because just the little bit I have seen so far has eased my mind. Still trying to figure it all out though .

Welcome. I'm5 days post op and feeling just fine. Listen to all these tips on this website--they do help. Walk as much as you can at the hospital--the IV is there for you to get fluids because just sipping while in the hospital is uncomfortable--not painful..just harder than before. You will feel better coming home because you are not getting awaken during the night at the hospital. When you begin sipping your Water do it slowly, I used to be able to drink a big glass of water all the time trying to lose weight. Now, take sips--you don't want to hurt your new stomach. Good luck and don't be nervous everything will be fine.

I'm new to this group as well and my surgery date is May 29th. I don't know how to use this app so any help would be great.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
