I've been up for 3 hrs already. The anticipation is killing me. I have triple checked my bag for the hospital and cleaned everything at home twice. Just ready to go to the next step of this new journey

I had mine on the 3rd as well. I'm a little sore, this gas is something though! Walking truly does help, but I'm tiring really quickly. How is everyone else?

I had mine done yesterday at 1130am. I was very dizzy and nauseous afterwards- still am too. I am having a hard time walking around because of the dizziness & nausea. However' date=' I am drinking Protein and clear fluids, which is great.

I have a morphine push pump and getting zofran through the iv.

Last night was awful. Most of it was due to my roommate.... She was calling for the nurses all night. Way too loud, too many people- too bright. Too noisy etc.

Worst part is the nausea and the nurses forcing. Me to walk. I will post a pic of my insicion sight soon.[/quote']

Hi Akmys11, welcome to the loser's bench! I was extremely nauseous after surgery also. It was better the next day. I was discharged yesterday and trying to get used to being back at home. Walking does help even though you don't want to. Right now we have a battles but I know it will get better, this is a big change to become accustomed to.

My goal today is to work on a schedule for my meals and drinking that georgette (my sleeve, yes i named my sleeve. lol) will be able to handle.

Thank you akmys11 and nicolenik17 for your updates. I am having surgery on June 11 (next Tuesday) and have been very emotional. This is day 3 of liquids and whoo, this is tough. I am so worried about about the day of surgery...my anxiety, my pain level after, everything. There have been a couple times I've actually thought about canceling, but I know I want to do this. I am ready to be happy and healthy, but terrified at the same time.

nicolenik17, love that you named your sleeve!!

Thanks confidencebound, I had the same emotions also, they will pass. The day of surgery I was very anxious because my surgery was in the middle of the day. Once I got to the hospital I was very calm and was at peace with my decision and what was about to happen.

I also had mine on the third. I am having rough time today getting my drinks in. I feel weak and sore, committed this morning. I just called for some nausea meds hoping that helps. I did take a walk around my yard and a shower this morning. Hoping to wake up feeling great after my lunch time nap. I honestly felt better when I left the hospital.

      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.
