I get to leave today. I still haven't passed gas. I need pain meds after I walk. I have been able to hold everything down so far. I get to go home with a drain. It will be taken out on Tuesday when I follow up.

Yeah on going home, I did not pass much gas while I was there but it got better when I got home. Hey your doing great on needing pain meds after the walk, but what I did was to make sure I had my meds when I did go walking, lol. It's so cool to see how everyone does the same things differently on here.

Okay I did not have a drain, but I had a friend who did have a drain, but I heard either works fine. congrats and keep up the good work.

When that drain comes out you'll get some relief too! I felt atleast 60% better the second it was removed! Good luck!

      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.
