I just started my Pre-op liquid diet today because my surgery is the 29th. I am so very excited yet somewhat scared and apprehensive. I think that I am more worried about the level of pain for the 48 hour period afterward. Can anyone share their experience about this?

Good luck to all of us "up comers". We can and will succeed! dde09

Hello surgery buddy. I am 8am the 29th. Will watch for your updates!

I'm so upset that I couldn't get my revision surgery on the 19th. I had to much scare tissue around my band so I have to wait 6 months to have my gastric bypass.

At least you know that when you are able to have surgery that you will be nicely healed and ready to go. :)

This is gross and TMI...but have any of you post-op people experience any diarrhea? I seem to go maybe 2 times a day since surgery. I am deinking enough fluids so as I don't get dehydrated!

Yes!! In fact, that's all I can do right now besides pee. I was told I may not be released from the hospital until I passed gas or had a BM. Well, the gas just wasn't happening, but I did have diarrhea. I was like a baby showing mommy her first poop! Showed the nurse and said, "Does that count?" LOL. I'm not even worried about it. There's no solid food in my system, so I can't expect anything solid to come out.

Not doing too well in the passing gas, either, but I am burping quite a bit. I'll take anything I can get.

      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.
