Surgery yesterday. No cath or anything but lots of pain on day 1' date=' day 2 was a little better. Morphine pump is gone, and have been up walking today. Still hurts but each day seems to be better. No nausea and on full liquids now. They won't let me take the gas-x. Boooo....[/quote']

They told me no to gas x also. But my gas was not that bad.

They told me no gas ex- but I got the gas ex strips that are like the lister one breath fresheners and they were a life saver!!!

Aren't those good, lol I enjoyed those a lot cause they had a good freshness to them. But it sure did taste a lot better than that. Drink we had to take to see if there was any leaks. It was horrible. Lol

Haha yup, I even told my doctor that they need a different flavor drink for the xray shot. And it should taste something like the pill. He just laughed and said he will look into it.

The blue ice chip test and the swallow test stuff were not that bad in my opinion. But then again maybe I'm a little different. Lol

      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.
