Thank you everyone! I just met my anesthesiologist. She was very Christina Yang from Greys Anatomy. Kinda dry humor straight to the point. I liked her :)

Ahhhhhhh! This is all so real now. I can't help but to feel as though I should run out of here.

Hi everyone! I wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes! Besides some pain that's totally tolerable with meds and being horribly thirsty, I feel great! My mouth is soooooo dry but not allowed to sip on anything till tomorrow.

So wondered how you are feeling Day 2? I woke up feeling OK.. Pain/uncomfortable right where my actual stomach is. Have not had liquids yet, they said soon. My mouth is so dry!

Oh I bet! The dry mouth was the worst! I've never been so thirsty. I was just brought a tub of fluids to pick from and a ton of medicine cups. It was the most exciting time ever! Haha. I feel like such a nerd to have gotten so excited by the sight of a beverage.

Pain wise: I'm feeling great. I've been walking a whole lot. They keep asking me if I've passed any gas. Which I haven't, so hopefully it won't hurt when I do. I keep the medicine button close by when I get stomach spasms.

I got no sleep last night. Someone kept coding and I couldn't help but worry so I stayed up. I did ask of it was a bariatric patient. It was not. Eased my mind a little (sounds terrible I know)

Keep me updated!

      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.
