  • MisforMimi That's great! I love hot tea, it's been my drink of choice for 20+ years (not a coffee person). I was worried I wouln't be able to tolerate it afterwards. hopefully I'll be like you!! although I'm told that hot or cold beverages arent good for a new stomach. so more like lukewarm???
...I hope I can have hot drink after my op....as I do enjoy a good cup tea/coffee...even if its decaf...oh Next week is my op.

I came home from the hospital on Friday, so 2 1/2 days on IV fluids. I have been meeting my daily required, walking, Water, Protein and Vitamin and nothing else. I've gained 15 pounds!!! They told me it was normal but I haven't seen anyone else mention gaining. I have lost 5 of it, but still holding on to 10, please tell me I'm about to see a crazy huge drop!

Begin Again, I was on IV fluids for 4 days- 1/15, 16, 17 and 18 (discharge day)

It is really to help against dehydration those first days when intake is such a challenge. Someone warned against getting on the scale when you get home on this site. It all came out in the wash when I weighed on my week out 'surgiversary' and I was down 7.5 pounds. It will come off soon. Hang in!

Thank you for all your replies about hospital weight gain. That makes me feel a lot better, another 5 disappeared today, fingers crossed the last 5 will be gone tomorrow.

Jkpizano5, glad to hear you made it through fine and are feeling OK. I'm still gassy too but the Gas-X strips do seem to help. My doc said I could take them but he didn't think they would make a difference. Maybe it's all in my head, but it feels like they do.

Two more days and a wake up till my surgery date!! My husband is starting to freak out. Cause all he is thinking about is the possibility of my not making it through the surgery! I keep telling him I've had other surgerys and have been fine, but now making me kinda nervous lol. (Big breath in and out)

Thin-for-kidney- my husband did the same thing, I listened to his concerns and decided to go forward with the surgery. I don't know what's the best decision for you, but just know what you are both feeling is normal.

      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.
