Hey Astrotoes,

My surgery was for 7 am too, I was also worried about Dr. Cobourn being a little sleepy, but he was wide awake, and looking mighty fine I must say. Oops, I didnt say that.

Hmmmm, I think I wasnt very hungry for at least 3-4 days after surgery. The liquids did good for about 1-1 1/2, but then the hunger came back good and strong.

I don't recall actually being hungry for a few days afterwards. I figured I abated it by sipping on juice etc.

Popsicles for me were a lifesave though...I started on those the 2nd day....the Delmonte fruit (sugar free) ones are excellent....I just sucked away on those and plus it made me "feel" like I was eating.

No hunger and nothing but Water for me for 7 days post op. I had swelling (of the stomach) after surgery and lost of pain with it so only water and liquid codeine for 7 days. Lost 10 pounds the first week.

Never heard of the Codiene Diet but 10lbs in one week, wow, you could have put Aitkens out of business hehe:D Thanks everyone for sharing your advise ,it helps so much.I find it hard not to be on edge about this this week for some reason.Hoping that next week I'll get to that calm place others have mentioned where they just knew it was the right thing for them.

Like Yoda I don't actually remember being hungry for the first few days. Could have been the gravol???? But I really enjoyed my cup of tea I had with another lady that also was banded the same day (Dec. 15/06 by Dr. Cobourn). We both stayed at Heritage House and believe me it was a godsent for those of us that don't live in Ontario and don't have close family or friends that we want to have to put up with us.

Hi Anne, I love my cup of tea most days as well and I'm sure it will be a life saver post-op.

I have a questin for you... what is Heritage House? I hope to be banded this year, just need to figure out my finances. One of the delimmas I will have is being able to arrange for someone to accompany me to Ontario. As I understand it, you need to have someone with you in your hotel room or pay for a nurse to stay with you. Your post has peaked my interest.

:)

Thanks,

Janice

Hi Anne, I'm curious about heritage house too. Is it somewhere that you can get cared for after surg? Is it for any kind of surgery? Like Oh....say....hmmm....cosmetic surg??? :)

Hi JLB and Neenagh

Yes, it is a wonderful altnerative to having someone with you post op. And yes Neenagh for cosmetic surgery as well. I am not sure if it is for other clinics. But I had my surgery done by Dr. Chris Cobourn in Mississauga at his clinic. I can't remember the name.

They treat you fantastic and the price is affordable. I paid $135/night. Initially I was only going to stay for the first night after my surgery, but when I talked to them, and it makes sense, you can stay for your entire stay.

Here is the link to their website http://www.heritagehouseonline.com/ and you can call if you have any questions. They are great trust me. I stayed at the Mississauga one. It is the one close to Dr. Cobourn's clinic and also close to Pearson Airport.

      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.
