Made it thru surgery! Took about 2 hours

Had the sleeve & hernia. Doing ok' date=' on oxygen about 2 hours after, some gas pain, went to the bathroom. Already & up on my feet walking in my room twice. Still light headed, so they said no laps quite yet. It's still early. So there's still a lot that could happen. Time will tell. Just remember while in the hospital to Breath Deep as you can, it helps with the gas pain. Move you feet while in bed or sitting, helps prevent clots. & walk ASAP

Good Luck to everyone that's doing the surgery today. & any other time.[/quote']

Congrats on making it through your surgery! Thanks for sharing your experience, it really helps.

I started my pre op diet today - 3 - 4 Protein Shakes per day, and non starchy veggies. I am a little hungry, but I keep telling myself "I will NOT starve to death, an there are lots of people who live everyday on less than I'm eating. And it is only for 2 weeks.

I started my 2 week pre-op diet today too. It's 5 Protein shakes per day and I can have broth or sugar free popsicles too. I'm already sick of protein shakes. :( But, like you, I keep telling myself it's only 2 weeks (even though 2 weeks feels like an eternity right now). :)

Is your surgery the 23rd also?

I'm having a little pain from the gas but I've been walking laps as soon as I could! I imagine it will just get better from here on out! I wanted this so bad so I think that my optimism is knocking out the pain. I knew this was for me when I was willing to put myself on national television this summer when I tried out for the Biggest Loser. I thought, yep. I'm ready for big change.

Hi I'm scheduled for Sept 17, lots of questions about insurance. No one wants to say how much is the 20% I have to pay. How can I get them to tell me?

      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.
