I finally had my rny 6/28 I came home on 6/30. I'm feeling good other than being really tired. 2 questions, anyone else come home from the hospital and not be able to stand the smell or mention of food? I'm ok with Water and Jello but when the family is eating yuck I can't stand the smell. Also I'm having really bad gas pains anyone have suggestions to help with those?

I know it's not pleasant but walking will get rid of the gas pains. The nausea against food will pass in a bit. I had the same. Congrats and best of luck!!

one week shy of 3 months post op and I just started wearing body sprays again maybe 2 weeks ago. already had heightened sense of smell so after surgery couldn't stand for daughters to come into my room and use one of my many body sprays or perfumes. gag! still can't stand the thought of chicken :( let alone eat it even grilled. but now I can do 2 oz of lean beef.

      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.
