So I'm about 7 weeks out and the week of xmas I was back to the hospital for lots of nausesa and pain. I wasn't eating due to that so they hooked my iv bag to a tmp bag which is liquid food/vitamins but I'm 100% better and need to get back to work soon and want to start eating real food again my labs everything is back to normal...it's been about 2 weeks and I feel like they are dragging it! My surgeon is on vacation so nobody wants to take me off this but it's making me depressed and go crazy!! So I refused the delivery of new supplies what would

You do?? There has to be someone else who can see me and move on from this...

What do you mean by "new supplies"? what are the supplies? Is it the saline drip? Is it because you want to eat and go home? I think that's what you are talking about. Does the surgeon have a backup? There must be another surgeon that they work with that could see you? I haven't dealt with this exactly though I do understand. They move so slowly and everything is tied up with red tape that nothing gets done in a timely manner. I think you should request to talk to another surgeon that could give you the ok to leave. Now that you have refused the new supplies, are they letting you eat? You have to do one or the other for sure. I guess I don't know what I would do but 2 weeks sounds like way too long.

      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.
