Thanks you for the caring words! It made a big difference and I am feeling all better. You all rock.

Kathy, glad to hear you are doing well!

Lynette, welcome back girlfriend.

Chim, where are you? I am getting worried!

NewCC, hang in there. Did your doctor give you any medication for nausea? Mine gave me prescription at my pre-op appt. and I got them filled, hope they work. Glad to hear you are alive and well neverthless.

I am in major "do" mode, trying to get everything clean and organized and what not. My surgery is at 12pm central time, and I have to be at the hospital at 10:30am, so I can sleep in a little bit. Yeah, right.

As I was showering tonight I thought " Can I wear deodorant to the hospital?" When I shower tomorrow morning, do you all think I can go over my regular beaty routine ( deodorant, creams, perfume) or just go al natural?

All,

I thought my first mushy meal would be great....boy, what a disappointment. I cut and boiled a potato and added skim milk and mashed it in the silver bullet, added a little butter, salt & pepper. And then minced some ham. Got both nice and hot in the microwave and sat down to eat it and it wasn't very good. It tasted too salty after twelve days with nothing but sweet shakes and stuff. I soldiered on and tried to eat as much of it as I could, which was about 2 to 2.5 ounces of each. All I really wanted was to take a big drink of Water and have my low carb slim fast shake, which I used to despise....

I will enjoy my water soon and I think I'm going to go back to liquids tomorrow. Have a shake for Breakfast, Soup and Jello for lunch, and then perhaps try some more mushies tomorrow night.

But, I'm so disappointed, I had such high hopes for mushies.....

Hello you guys! I've missed you. I am at my parents' house right now, just to make sure e'thing is okay. I got discharged tonight around 8pm. My doc wanted to discharge me earlier, but got called into emergency surgery.

I am doing really well. Of course, a bit sore, but other than that, I feel good. All the hospital staff said I was looking/doing good.

Unfortunately, my parents' hi-speed internet is messed up, so I'm on dial-up right now. Eewww.

Well, I'm exhausted from the ride home-about 2 hrs, so I'm gonna head to bed now.

Just wanted to let ya'll know how I was doing.

Gnite!

      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.
