Hey August group! I had my surgery Wednesday and am feeling a bit better each day. Having a lot of trouble getting in my Protein Drinks, liquids, and all those meds they give you. I never realized I'd have to take 7 pills in the morning and 6 in the evening which doesn't even include my bariatric Vitamins or calcium citrate. Can't wait to Do my first weigh in next Friday though! Good luck to everyone coming up in August!

What all meds are you taking missysue?

Let me start off by saying, the only think I took before surgery were my Vitamins and I am healthy besides being morbidly obese and sleep apnea. I am on now:

calcium citrate 2x a day

Bariatric Fusion Vitamin 2x a day

Magnesium oxide 1x a day

Prilosec 2x a day

Zofran (for nausea as needed)

Oxycodone (for pain as needed)

Carafate 2x a day

Ursodiol 2x a day

Colace 2x a day

I understand that all of these are to keep me healthy though and most of these are for 30 days or less so I CAN get through it!

Oh ok...I took colace twice a day for about the first week...I also take pepcid, oxycodone for pain (which I usually just take before bed to help me sleep), my bariatric chewable Multivitamin (gag) and I also take allergy meds...I don't start my calcium citrate for a few more weeks...

      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.
