Sitting in waiting room for first per op appt and class. They didn't give me alot of information about what to expect. Just told me to clear most of my day and part of my day would be spent on class. But today makes it feel real. The day of surgery is getting close. I'm expecting to learn more about my pre op diet today. I'll post about what I learned after I'm done. Good luck and god bless those headed to surgery this week and all those

I know what you mean! I feel like I'm floating! Lol and nothing tastes good to me. Everything sugar free tastes like nutrasweet and I won't even start on chicken broth. Lol

I had surgery Thursday and didn't really shake the anesthesia hangover until Saturday. It gets better.

Just found out I'm having robot assisted laparoscopic RNY. Apparently the stand you on your head for the entire procedure because of the robot.

So they tell me I can look forward to swelling around my face and neck. Hmmmm that doesn't sound like fun at all

I work in robotics at my hospital and the swelling is usually not severe

Oh I don't know if I'd like that. As much of a technology person as I am, I would not trust it. I would be protesting the robot. Humans are all different inside and as great as robotics are these days, they are still robots.

      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.
