My husband stayed overnight on a cot in my room, and most of the two days I was in the hospital but he sort of drive me nuts... Wanting to watch movies when I wanted to sleep, etc. it was nice to have him there to walk the halls with.

Because my hospital was over an hour away..My husband did not stay with me. In fact, my only contact with family was over the phone. We walked the surgical unit a lot together over the phone. By me being by myself I was able to focus on my treatment and recovery. I was sleeved 6/4/13. 22 days out.

My boyfriend didn't stay overnight but because I had a private room they let him stay past visiting hours.

I was in hospital for 4 days, the first day I needed help getting to the toilet by myself but from the second day I was showering myself ect.

I didn't mind asking the nurses for help they were really nice and it's what they are there for!

With you your first night at hospital?

Did you take a shower at hospital later on after your surgery?

I have so many thoughts racing through my mind right now! My surgery is 6/26/13 Yikes!

Stay with me? Heck no! It was time for me to ask questions, walk out the toots, and just doze off for a few minutes here and there. I was discharged the next day so while he did visit in the mornings before work, I didn't even have him bring my kids up. I did have a few of my sorority sisters visit, which loved. I had the remote to myself, my iPad and my phone. What else did I need? Nothing!

      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.
