I can hardly believe my surgery is tomorrow afternoon! I am so excited! I have survived my 2 week preop diet and after a year and a half since starting this journey, the day has come. The new me begins tomorrow and I couldn't be happier.

Best of luck.......

Congrats and Good luck!!! My best advice is walk as soon as possible after you're in your hospital room. I had bad gas pains that crept up into my right shoulder and it was horrible, only thing that helped was walking. I walked SO much. wishing you all the best! and hopefully no gas pains :)

Good luck and I second the walking recommendation. Walk and drink, baby steps on both, but lots of them

Day 2 post op and the gas pains are killing me! I have been walking loops around my unit and have started to pass gas as of about midnight last night, but clearly there is a lot more to get rid of. Even the oxycodone the nurses give are not making a dent. I am aupposed to go home today and now I'm worried that if i am still in this much pain they wont let me.

Gas is still painful, but I am home and not in the hospital, so at least that's good. I am hopeful that it will be finished by the weekend.

      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.
