Still in the hospital but I'm hoping that I'll get let go today. I've been here for four days now. They still have me on oxygen for some odd reason. I've never had problems in my lungs before. As far as my new stomach, iT acts really weird. I believe I passed the gas stage but I'm still having trouble eating enough. The nurses have missed took my evening/not eating incorrectly. I had some really good nurses and some really bad ones. There are some that have actually gone through one of the three procedures themselves and it would be amazing to connect with them as they've been through it or in some cases are still going through it. I guess we'll see what happens.

Hi! I was released yesterday and I feel good! I'm working on the gas I feel like I've walked from FL to CA but the gas won't go where ever it's suppose to go! I'm only consuming chicken broth and Water @ 2oz of each is tolerable. I hope you can go home today also, it takes some if the anxiety out of being away from the familiar.

Sorry you have had some troubles. I hope you get to leave the hospital today. I got to come home on Tuesday. It's easier to recover at home if you have help. Take care.

      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.
