Surgery was @ 8 and went well, however I was in recovery until 5pm because I didn't come out of anesthesia very well. Out of bed around 830 for my first walk and then sat/slept in the chair for about an hour. Not to much trouble sleeping. Woke up this morning and got my first sip of Water, so far so good, they said they are gonna give me a good workout today, so I'm gonna take a little nap. Favorite thing: my pain med button :-)

Surgery date May 14th 2013

It had been fairly easy to get my fluids in but I could not imagine doing that and Protein. I have been in quite a bit of pain. They say walking helps but it makes it worse for me. They are only allowing me pain meds every 4 hours I need it sooner most of the time. Good luck to everyone and you all are in my prayers. PS the spirometer makes me couch up stuff and brings on a lot of pain so beware

surgery date: May 14

      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.
