My surgeon is really good, understanding and helpful. I had no complications, thank GOD! I woke up from recovery feeling very tired! And hungry. Today, I had my sets of Water from 1 oz. graduating to 3. I didn't quite make it to 4. My doc told me I did good and could end here for tonight. I oh home tomorrow morning! I can't wait to be in my own bed! Gotta run , I have to blow on the spirometer and then it's lights out! Thanks for reading!

Congrats!!!! I am 8 days post op and I was taking in about 7 ounces for 2 days... Didn't really measure in the hospital but I loved sucking on my ice chips! When I came home I could only get 1 whole bottle of Water or snapple down... As of yesterday I really started to enjoy my ice cold water! And I'm getting two bottles down now :) good luck!

Thank you! Congrats to you as well ! I wanted ice chips so bad but they refused this request . They said I'll swallow the air. Different surgeons different rules ! Do what works best for you! Congrats again!

Thank you! I was anxious about insurance approval as well! But it came when I least expected it at my pre op workshop! It'll come, don't worry!

      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.
