I can't believe they put your drain so hi up. All my incisions are lower, near my belly button. The only one that is a little higher is the drain.

It is so weird how different every surgeon is. Wonder why mine where so high up then?!

Stitcher nothing yet Lol!!

I've had rumbling for a few days actually. I forget what they told me when I asked. It's either the gas working its way down or something but they said its normal

Hey everyone! I'm glad to hear everyone is recovering. No bm for me yet either but pass lots of gas. I'm drinking two Protein Shakes a day mixed with skim milk and sipping Water in between. I'm getting a total of about 46 ounces of Fluid. Feel like I should be getting more. Doing lots of walking. I'm a little sore in my left stomach but not bad at all. Oh and I have a very gurgly pouch too!

      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.
