Hello I was revised from band to bypass on 10/9/13 .I couldn't pass gas on the 3Rd day and was in pain so my doctor did another surgery instead of a CT scan . He didn't find anything so on the 3Rd day from that surgery I had the same pains and requested for them to see if I had a bowel restriction. They did a CT scan and saw I did then my doctor did a third surgery and that time he cut me from above my belly button to about a half of foot. I been in the hospital almost two weeks then came out then back in. I'm healing slowly now with a wound vac because they sent me home with an infection. My journey has been hard . I just pray this whole ordeal is almost over. I've been through so much I didn't 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.

      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.
