Oh, that stuff was awful! They were giving that to me after they took the morphine pump away. What are they telling you when you tell them you are hurting? They started giving me Toradol with my pain meds because my back hurt so bad after surgery.

They just tell me to wait 4 hours. It's making it nearly impossible to get up and move around. Im just not being demanding enough

Ask for Toradol if you still have your IV. You have the right to be comfortable and not in pain!

Hey everyone. Surgery went well I was in a room by 11:30 this morning. Up walking by 3 however that made me sick so they just let me walk again at 10. In the morning they will do the swallow test. Then I can finally sip Water or eat ice chips

Glad to hear your surgery went successful! My surgery is Monday and I will also have to do a swallow test before I can have something to drink. I hope everything goes well in the morning.

Lots of nausea yesterday. Every time I walked the halls, dry heaving would follow. Ugh!! But change a girl's meds and today is a new day filled with new possibilities! I'm doing much better. Now time for sip, walk, sip & walk! Got to try to get liquids down today - yesterday I was dehydrated. Let's do this!!!!

      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.
