I was sleeved 5/29...I awoke pretty nauseated but they gave me a shot right away and it took care of it. No pain at all even 6 days post op. Just stomach spasams. Good luck to you guys! I have to say my experience with surgery and the overnights were great!

Lol-

My stomach is all messed up. I think from nerves and not eating normally. My show time is 1030 TOMMORROW w surgery at noon. I am happy but know I will be starving like crazy again for hours.

I'm not sure why my phone capitalized Tomm.

WHAT??! What happened? Weren't you supposed to have surgery this morning? I'm so sorry! That must be awful to have to psych yourself out again for tomorrow?

It's unbelievable, but the OR lost power right before they were going to call me back. I had been there for hours & had 2 bags of IV Fluid.

I'm not scheduled until noon so I'm going to try & stay up really late. That way I don't have to sit & starve all morning...

Oh wow! Well then thank God you weren't in the middle of surgery when they lost power! :o I will say a prayer for you that everything runs smoothly tomorrow & that you won't feel hungry. Good luck akmys!

Did any of you get the shot before they put the IV in? The last surgery I had I wussed out and got the numbing baby shot in my hand which some people say isn't worth it cause the shot hurts about the same as the IV lol

I did receive a shot of lidocaine before the IV was placed. I also had some medicine I had inhale through my mouth to numb my throat, that way my throat would not be sore after surgery. And my throat isn't sore. Mouth extremely dry.

I will be starting my liquids at 6 am

      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.
