Recommended Posts

I need to arrive at the hospital at 8 am and I'm feeling a little queasy from nerves. Here's to hoping I am not in the unlucky 1% that have serious issues. Good luck to any other folks getting their surgery today as well!

I arrive at the hospital at 830! I am also queasy, but I think it is from starvation lol.

My pre op diet was a little more lenient as far as eating goes than most of them I think, I could eat one lean and green meal a day and a couple of shakes. But I stopped eating on Monday just to be extra careful. So maybe it is hunger:P

Did it. I was so nervous but it all went by in a blink of an eye. I am having very little pain, what amounts to a dull ache around the incision sites. I Walked from one side of the hospital to the other a couple of times upon waking up and was sent on my way home after a few hour nap. So far so good!

Just woke up, I could sleep on my side my back or however I wanted. Still feel a little sore but a little less than yesterday. I hope this trend continues!

Thanks, I hope yours does too! I just started to try eating some sugar free Jello, stomach is a little less happy about it than the chicken broth and unflavored Protein Powder, but it isn't too bad. Little bit of gurgling and burping and slight stomach pain. I did take two percocets first though:P I drank 16oz of Water no problem before I started eating the jello.

      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.
