@Nikkidoodlebug. I'm sorry things are rough right now. I'm home now and feeling a little better. My stomach feels like it's got a bubble in it. My sense of taste is totally off. Keep your chin up. You are stronger than you think.

Well last night around 11:00 pm they took me back to the O.R. And had to have a second surgery, my stomach was going up into my esophagus and that is why nothing could go down. So now I'm in hella pain because he had to suture my stomach down in place and loosen up the hernia he repaired the first surgery . So now I have a drain pump that I have to have for a week and then go back to have it removed. So has anyone had this happen to them. I just can't wait to feel better

@@Nikkidoodlebug I'm so sorry to hear about this. I'm glad that they found the cause and hope you feel better soon! Take care! I have had the drain on a couple other occasions for Thyroid cancer. While they look weird/gross...they didn't hurt and the surgeon removed mine without pain. The drain helps with keeping the swelling down so you can heal faster.

      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.
