Soon you will be loosing pounds and giving out advice.

The best advice that I received at your stage were 3 things.

1. Take the anti nauseau meds before you leave the hospital even if you dont feel nauseau. (I did not do that and got REALLY sick) Zofran works well.

2. As soon as you wake up walk, and walk every hour, It helps keep the painfull gas away and lessens the chance for blood clots.

3. Sip, Sip,Sip, the best way to keep you from feeling sick is to stay hydrated. Even when you dont want too, even if you think you cant, sip Water.< /p>

Your going to be so happy in a couple months, this will be a distant memory.

Best Wishes!

I'm a week out today, and felt the same as you, I was pretty sure my heart was going to stop before I got to the hospital. You are going to do great! The first few days a rough, but I didn't think any worse than having the lapband, the worst part for me was the nausea and wanting to down a bottle of Water and only being able to sip, so that's what you do, just keep sipping and every day you'll get better! Good luck!!!

      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.
