Good luck! I wish you the least painful recovery and great successes. I will be right behind you a week from Monday. I share the sentiment "Get this thing out of me!"

I'm doing my revision the 14th. I'm very nervous also, my dr. Said it might have to be open and it's got me freaked out. Good luck today!

Well everything went beautifully!! I have been up and walking. The pain is way less than after the band pain. I am so pleased, so happy and so excited. At least for now. Ask me again when the morphine wears off. Lol ????

My doc said that too. They have to say that so that if you wake up and it was opened you aren't shocked (and you don't sue) lol. You will do great!

Two days after surgery and doing well. Sore and gas filled but it's slowly coming along. Had broth, juice mixed with Water and a Protein Shake today. Still taking the Tylenol with codeine but not as frequently. I think I am going to take a walk outside tomorrow. I think the most uncomfortable thing is where they fixed the hiatal hernia. Have to take short breaths. Should go away in a couple of days though. Feeling great otherwise!! ☺️☺️

      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.
