How many incisions did they do on your stomach? I thought it was suppose to be four and I counted 6 total. Two on my left side, two on my right side, one under my breast bone And one in the belly button. Is this normal or has anyone else had more than 4 incisions?

Oh ok, yeah I get that....they found a hiatus hernia on top my stomach so I am guessin that is why I have a lot of incisions. I am feeling ok, feeling nauseous here and there and still skeptical on what to eat for my post op liquid diet. I would rather just not eat anything so I don't get sick but I know I need to put something in my stomach. I am taking each day with baby's steps. Thank you so much for asking? When did you have your surgery?

I had a drain for a week. It was so bizarre to have it removed! Doc just pulled it across my midsection! Hubby, who is a surgical nurse, took care of it before it was removed.

      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.
