I have absolutely nothing to say but glowing reviews about the hospital and staff that took care of me during my surgery. I was sleeved at Grandview Hospital in Dayton Ohio. This is an older hospital in a bad part of town that has had a bad reputation. But several years ago it was brought into a network of four hospitals in the Dayton area and went through an extensive remodel. The hospital is beautiful now. Clean and modern, yet warm. My room was basically private. When you enter from the hall it splits into two rooms. So I had privacy and plenty of room for visitors. The bathroom was very large and easy to manuever in. And the staff were beyond compare. Each person truly seemed to care about me and my well being. So I give the highest props to all at Grandview Hospital in Dayton Ohio!

My hospital stay was also ideal. Can I boast about my hospital too? Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay Oregon. Every single nurse was kind and punctual and even bending over backwards to make sure I was comfortable at all time. And they had a "window seat" that converted into a bed (bedding and pillows were underneath) so I could have someone stay with me. Had we known that, we probly could've forgone the motel my hubby stayed in (hospital was 3 hrs away). He even took a very comfy nap on 1 of the days!

The bariatric floor at the hospital doesn't use pain pumps either. They want to know exactly when ur in pain so they can check u out every single time. And the nurses would give me 1/2 a dose every 2 hrs instead of the every 4 it was ordered to keep me comfy. And they were so nice when they had to hook my compression stockings back up every single time I had to go pee (which with IV fluids was every 15 minutes, literally). Hubby finally learned how to do it allowing the nurses to actually help others instead of just me!

I loved my hospital stay too even though it was just one night. I had the tv remote all to myself, got to lay in bed without feeling guilty and people brought whatever I needed to me. I guess I am easy to please but was like a mini vacation.

      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.
