Can you call a family member?

I messages her husband on Facebook but no response. We weren't even really friends until about 3 months ago when our journeys began, so I don't know her family :/

This seems scary to me. I hope she's ok. I can't remember how I was feeling at 36 hours after surgery, but it could just be nausea and pain are keeping her from texting.

I'm scared for her. I really expected a text by now or to see her active on fb. I know my post op patients are up and walking around shortly after surgery, so to not even be able to send a quick message is really freaking me out. Please send prayers, good juju or whatever. I'm scared for her!

I was able to call my family about 12 pm and I was done at 8 am. Maybe she having pain issues and just has not been up to texting/FB. Call her if ou can and see. Better then worrying and as RNs we have a bigger imagination on what can go wrong!

Ill let you guys know. I'm sure I'm overreacting and she's fine, but like a previous poster said, as an RN my mind automatically goes through a list of complications most people wouldn't consider..stroke, PE, too much blood loss..ahhh I'm driving myself nuts.

Have had her in prayer since yesterday. Stay positive keep the energy flowing. Keep us posted for our sleeve sister. I would still try to call the hospital and just ask if she's ok. I know about the HIPPA laws but sometimes you get an understanding nurse who will give you that much.

She's an employee of the hospital and she's protected, meaning if someone calls to ask if she's there, they have to say no :(

Wow. I'm so sorry. This is so stressing. Well let's just pray that she's really out of it. Tomorrow she'll reach out.

It's been 36 hours since surgery and still no contact. She hasn't been on Facebook. She works at the hospital so she's automatically a protected patient. I'm panicking!

I didn't call anyone for a few days I had my family text my friends and other family members for me. I just had no desire to charge my phone to call anyone or anything.

      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.
