Had my surgery (RNRGB) at 8 am on 1/7... Surprisingly not much pain now. Went on 2 walks and breathing normally. I'm super excited for this journey!

I was jan 7 @ 9 30 am, I was all star patient, went walking for over an hour did everything with a smile..... Until it came to fluids, apparently my throat was too swollen from have a tube down durning surgery, and I was unable to keep fluids down. I was very discouraged and the nurses were pushing so hard for me to drink past the pain.... Then The vomiting started and I was anxious and a little scared, I refused to drink anything after the last time I got sick and went to bed early At eight feeling confused and beaten... Woke up this morning sore everywhere but am now able to get fluids down and am so thrilled that within two hours I have kept down 20 oz of fluid! I feel great and hopefully going home today and will be in my low home able to get all these tubes outta my arm and just relax and take care of myself! Good luck Hun I hope you are doing much better then I was!

      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.
