You're right. Once I got to the hospital, I was weirdly calm about the whole thing. Sending postive thoughts your way. Good luck! :)

Sandi, sorry to hear about your cramps. How are ya doing now?

I think the pain killers they've given me work well for menstrual cramping but not so great for the hernia pain and gas -- every 4 hours seems like an eternity for me. The meds where off about an hour after I take them

Dilaudin, liquid Tylenol and Percocet in addition to their gas medicine and nausea Patches

I think the hernia is the worst cause my hospital roommate had the VSG as well by the same surgeon and she never complained -- she left the next morning and this is my 2nd night in hospital ..... Waiting patiently for my 2:50am dose, ugh

      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.
