Hi all packing my bag' date='I think I'll only be in the hospital for one day ,checkout on Saturday @ 11:00am . I have a question ,I've been reading about a drain? My Dr. Hasn't said anything about a drain, but he did prescribe a blood thinner shot to be given by me for 14 days..... Does anyone have any idea and or have your Dr. Prescribe the shot for you. I'll ask him in the morning before my surgery but I wanted to get a little infor beforehand. Does it hurt, did you have any problems shooting yourself? Thank you so much.[/quote']

I only had them while in the hospital. They do sting a bit and I didn't have to give them to myself.

Ok here's an update the pain is almost gone!! It was GAS yes yes yes the dreaded GAS ' date='well I should say Air because there wasn't a funky smell ,just loud and lonnnnnnnng wind!! Sounded like a trumpet blowing ,Want to know how I expelled that dreaded gas ? ( sure you do ) I laid on my left side (yeah is hurt but not as Good as the wind flying out!!) I raised my left leg as far to my chest as I could and my right leg straight as a broad and WALA about a minute all hell broke loose !!! It was like "RELEASE THE CRACKENS" !!! The hubby and dogs ran into the bedroom scared and wanting to know WTH was that noise lol ( no not really) but it really was long and loud!! I took and nice very warm shower ,put on a new fresh granny gown ,you know the one with no shape just big ,armless and come down to your knees,I bought seven of those things ,I figured I would use them about three times each and donate them ,but they are really to slip on and off right now ,and it's all about the ease and comfort during this stage of WL .back in my recliner again tonight's and probably for the rest of the week just to be on the safe side well check in tomorrow Happy Memorials Day ![/quote']

Omg that was funny as hell!! Cracking up!! My husband is now giving me looks all the time because it just keeps coming back!! My surgery was May 17th!

      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.
