Glad all went well! Are they giving you any meds for nausea? I really needed them the first day or two.

Every day will get easier. Hang in there!

Are they giving you something? I've been on Zofran every 4 hours in hospital and every 6 at home. I have never been nauseous.

Gas-X strips and lots of walking. Good luck.

Just remember that Gas-X strips are only good for gas IN the digestive system. It doesn't help with getting rid of the gas in the abdominal cavity from the surgery. For that, it's walk, walk, walk!

I threw up on the second day.. It was from all the meds and old blood in my tummy. After throwing up a couple of times I felt a lot better.. I also made them stop giving me so much meds.. That helped a lot too. Hope things get better for you..

I had the same issues the doctor said it was due to the type of surgery we had. Anyway being a nurse I knew to ask for one zofran on a schedule, so every 4-6 hours and ask them about levsin,also called hyoscyamine. It was a god sent. Also if they have you on ativan you can take with zofran and it will decrease nausea before you walk. Also eat plenty of ice to help with swelling before after and during walks....only way I was able to be released from hospital. God is with you it will get better.

      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.
