No complications, but Dr had me stay in the hospital five days.

No complications, but Dr had me stay in the hospital five days.

What was the reasoning, do you know? It seems that most are in and out in a day or two!

I had no complications and I stayed three days, two nights. I almost had to stay another night because I was having trouble getting much fluids and Protein in. I was able to get down a Protein Shake and convince my surgeon I would keep working on it at home.

No complications, weight about 244 age 29. Stayed 2 nights in the hospital. Glad I did too. I had 2 under 3 waiting for me at home. I got to sleep all day! 2 nights was covered in my self pay package, so I wanted to use them up

      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.
