Feeling MUCH better today. I might even get to go home later today or tomorrow. Puréed foods today. Much easier to take meds when mixed with puréed banana or applesauce.

More details : the first couple of days were awful. Lots of pain, loopy from the morphine and very nauseous. I'm sensitive to anesthesia, so all I wanted to do was sleep. Every time someone talked to me I thought I would throw up.

While not anywhere near 100%, I feel almost like a different person today. More energy, more smiles, no nausea and pain under control using liquid roxicet.

Molly - did he end up taking your appendix? Glad you're feeling better today. How do you feel about going home? Do you want to or would you feel better staying in for another day?

I still have my appendix. :-). He did fix a hernia in addition to the RNY. I feel pretty good about going home. I'm still not sure if it will be today or tomorrow.

My surgery went well. My incisions don't hurt as much as the freaking gas from the surgery. That's been my enemy. I had surgery on Tuesday the 3rd at 930am and by 7 or 8 pm I was walking around. I felt nauseous from the anesthesia, but overall was okay. I went home Thursday, the day after surgery. Was lucky to have some of the best people taking care of me. Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

      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.
