Ok all, so I had a successful surgery. I experienced pain, but not hat I couldn't tolerate. My threshold is really high. I've been walking all day up and down hall. The worst pain is that i feel the hernia repair. No problems swallowing yet. I've only had Water and ice chips so far.

Hello. I am having a more difficult time than I anticipated. Honestly I think it's more the nausea from the pain med so I have eased back. I get gassy and the burps really hurt coming up. Sorry tmi. My nurse has been amazing so that helps. Going to try to sleep without the pain meds and see how I feel when I wake up. I can't believe this day actually came!

Glad everything went okay. I wonder if the itching is from the pain meds. I had that once after a surgery and it was the pain meds. How did they treat you at TMC? Do you get a private room or multi-bed? How was your doctor. Can't wait for it to me my turn.

I thought it might have been the hospital gown. There I a fe detergents mom and my sister221 so figured that was the issue. I did g-et a private room and the doctor was amazing.- tmc treats you amazingly

Can't wait until I get my surgery. I am hoping the insurance company doesn't keep me waiting for an answer too long. Glad you are doing good and are going home soon. Hope this wind dies down soon. It is blowing like crazy down here in Green Valley.

Woops. Accidentally hit send. I am very nauseated and my temp is 99.6. Little worried. I keep dry heaving and it is extremely painful in my incision areas. So far this has been miserable. I keep hearing it gets better but I'm ready to start feeling better!

      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.
