Wow. This is something alright. Lol

Not "painful" but it's not pleasant. Pretty uncomfortable. The cotton mouth is far the worst ever.

Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers!

Thanks! The gas is intense. Haven't been able to have ice chips yet. Just had that test done to see if I have any leakage. Hopefully I can have ice chips soon.

Any tips on the gas besides burping and walking?

Again, thanks to all of you. I have such an amazing support system just on here. :)

I would sit in your bedside chair and just get up and move around the room between walks. Just the getting up and down will help too. A warm shower should help when they let you.

Oh my nurses had me brush my teeth almost immediately. That and those sponge pops dipped in Water helped -just don't suck out the water!

Its a long day but just one day! Welcome to the other side :)

Try laying on your left side. It might be uncomfortable but it works.

      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.
