Surgery at 7 am this morning. In my room with pain med button. Actually pain just starting to get a little rough. Already been on a walk and sat in chair for an hour. This really isn't as bad as I thought. Although guess it could get worse! Anyway, doing good here. Biggest thing I wasn't prepared for was not being able to drink anything and my mouth and throat are so dry. There are times I have to stop talking as my tough wont work because it is too dry. Can swab down but that literally lasts about 30 seconds.

Wishing all the best to Wednesdays surgeries. I will pray for you all.

Glad to hear you are doing well. My mouth and throat were so dry and irritated by whatever was down my throat during surgery that I couldn't talk right until into the following day. Wish you a speedy recovery!

Had my op at about 12.30 yesterday afternoon. It went fine with no complications. Had a rough night been sick due to the pain meds but that seems to be coming under control. Allowed Water and had one cup of tea so far. The pain feels like I have done too many sit ups! Still got drips and drain in but hopefully they will be coming out later.

So glad it went well. I told the nurse yesterday it feels I had a torturous ab workout! Night wasn't good here either. Respiratory therapy didn't know how to work a combo CPAP /APAP and set the pressure for 16, needed to be at 4! Big difference. They came to fix it at 2 am. Hospitals certainly aren't for resting! Take care and best wishes to all going in for surgery today!

      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.
