Definitely been a lot of ups and downs over the past week but I am feeling pretty good today. I do have thrush from the oral pain medication so the doctor called in some nystatin for that. Good with fluids today and started eating pureed today. I am holding off to weigh myself until I go back to work on the 1st but I can't wait to see that number go down!

Hi all, had surgery 1 pm on 19, spent night in the hospital and then went hom next day. Unfortunately I got the lucky roll of dice for post surgical bleeding and got read matted to hospital the following Thursday to do ct scan, see where the bleeding was coming from ( inconclusive).stayed the night for more observation and then headed home finally noon today.

Moral of this story.. shit happens.. If it's black, tell your doc immediately.. Sorry to be so graphics, but you need to be prepared.

Kudos for not weighing yourself VSG mama. I'm really bad and do it daily. I'm finally losing again I had gained with all the fluids in the hospital.

I had my sleeve and hiatal hernia repaired on Wednesday morning (May 20). My first night in the hospital was horrible with constant nausea, cramps and dry heaves. Of course I questioned my sanity on why I did this to myself, but I'm much better now that I'm home. I've only been able to drink Water but I've done pretty well with it. The flavored and sweetened drinks made me nauseous, and have only been able to take a couple spoonfuls of broth and Jello. I'm not hungry at all and dread the thought of eating anything at all. I'm sure this will pass soon enough! Hang in everyone. We can do this!

      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.
