How are you doing on the liquid diet? I had my surgery with Dr. Eagon the 22nd. You're only 2 days away right? Good luck! I wasn't nervous the day of surgery, I was ready to get to the other side. I don't like the healing process though. It's hard for me to be down physically so I don't think it's actually hit me that I've had the surgery yet because all I can focus on is the pain/incisions.

I went in Thursday to have the surgery. When I woke up in the recovery room, I was told that my surgery took 5 hours! When he went in to do the RNY, everything went well and he was done with that in about 2 hours. Then, he saw a hernia (I knew I had one but every dr before Dr. Eagon would downplay it), and went to repair it. While trying to fix that he noticed my bowels were all tangled up with the hernia so in addition to the lap cuts I have, I also have an open cut on my lower abdomen which makes my recovery a little bit harder. I came home with a drainage tube also so that doesn't make it any better. It still doesn't feel real to me, except the fact that I am not hungry and have to force myself to sip liquids all day because I'm so focused on my physical limitations.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
