Hello everyone,

I've been reading this forum for a few weeks and I cannot thank you guys enough. Well, tomorrow morning at 7:30 I have to report to the hospital for surgery. I just packed my bag with items that I will need. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Hope everything will be ok. Please everyone keep me in your prayers.

Pain in my chest, back...worst than having gald bladder removed. Thank you for all the prayers and support. I am so hungry, just having ice chips.

Thanks for caring. I am in my bed taking Lortab elixir for pain and Protonix for gas. So far so good. It's getting up from the bed that is a killer.

Hi Ellody,

I had my surgery on Monday so I'm a day ahead of you. I feel you on the recovery room pains...OMG!!!! Thank goodness for morphine pumps! I feel a little better today, only taking the elixer in the morning and at night to help me sleep. I have belched my head off but seems to be getting better. I don't have a drain, do you? Thanks goodness, I was dreading the removal. My doctor does a three week clear liquid diet after so all I am getting is sf Jello, sf popsicles, Water, G2 and crystal light. It all tastes way too sweet to me but I'm getting it down! Good Luck to you

      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.
