November Dates

Well one more day and I am on my way. I am truly scared. It is hard to want something so bad but also to be so scared to get it.

2 sleeps to go. The surgical nurse yesterday said that they squeeze out all the gas they can' date=' and just a little bit thats left bubbles up to the shoulder... is that the gas pain you guys are talking about? or do they not squeeze your gas out over there?[/quote']

Mine is pretty much on left under diaphragm I think. It kind of feels like it does when my Cpap air gets in GI tract. Burping is helping but I really want a good ole fart lol

Every doctor seems to be different. My surgeon requires the Vitamins from the beginning. They advised me to work myself up to the amount of Protein I need gradually because I won't be able to get 90 grams in immediately. Hopefully you get it figured out during your appt tomorrow. Good luck & well wishes!

      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.
