Surgery was Wednesday morning and I am getting ready to be discharged. So far, no complications! I just hope it stays that way. My neck and throat have been pretty sore and I think may a combo if the anesthesia and uncomfortable hospital bed. I do feel like I have a little bit of congestion in my cheat and they told me that was normal. I am soooo glad to be on the other side of this!!

The throat is probaly the tube the inabate you with during surgery...that will pass soon and use the breathing guage ( spiro- something or other) they give you it helps with the congestion. Congratulation!

Just eat slowly and choose something surgery friendly. You'll be fine. :)

Congratulations, you will be fine. My throat hurt like hell as well, because of that tube, after 10 days my throat is fine, remember to blow in that thing they give us, it will help you a lot and help clear your chest. Take care

I drank too much of a Protein Shake and I had to lay down. Maybe for an hour before I felt normal again.

      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.
