Try some black tea with a little ginger in it. When I had surgery before, they gave me that in the hospital to help with nausea and it worked. I give it to my kids when their little tummy's hurt too. Feel better soon!

So glad to hear you made it through!! Have you tried yelling at the top of your lungs (if you can) They'll rush right in then! Or you can always call from your phone. Hope you get some relief soon!

That sucks Gen! I think they should give you a pain pump! That would alleviate them all together. Try to rest up and feel better.

Do you measure? If not you can start if that will help how you feel. I understand the feeling. I think it is a natural feeling for all of us to have. We did so much to help us out. But measure, put your faith in yourself cuz you can do it :-)

Blood pressure is running 50/80 since yesterday. Dr said cell count looks good and heart rate is proper. But I told him I did this last time. Low BP in the hospital, but speeding rate when I'd wake up at home, 1 time I passed out. Might be doing more test.

      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.
