Haven't packed yet, but not taking much since it's only a 23 hour stay at the hospital. I have to be there at 6:00 am. and we live 1.5 hours away, so I'll be getting up at 3:45 a.m. to get ready to go. Hey at least I'll get some sleep during surgery!!

Good luck to all of us!!

Got home this afternoon...OMG that leak test upper G.I. is awful...tasted like drinking old soapy mop Water with Pine Sol mixed in...yuck.

I had the gas pains in my shoulder blade after surgery too, but after about 4 trips walking up and down the halls it all went away. I think that's the key to getting rid of it.

My body aches all over though and I feel like they must have dropped me on my tailbone because my butt hurts a lot.

I'm trying to sip Water and some Protein shake, but everything tastes really nasty.

I hope everyone else is home today and doing well.

      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.
