Yay I'm now post op! Pain and nausea were at a 8/9 out of ten when I woke up took quite a few hours to get under control but feeling much better now nausea gone thanks to a patch they put on and pain maybe 2/3 out of ten.

Able to sip Water with some discomfort, didn't get any sleep with all the check ups but managed to half doze. I'm in for one more night then home tomorrow morning. I can't believe this is real! All the best to you all on your journeys :) and speedy recovery!

I had my final preop assessment today. Am exhausted and terrified. The bariatric nurse has made me feel the next six weeks are going to be unbearably horrible. She said nothing of the positive endpoint only the horrible symptoms. She spoke about dilating strictures for ages! I know I need this surgery to stand a chance of being healthy. Only now I'm dreading it. Sorry to be such a worrier- I thought today would be a boost. I was very wrong!

I had my surgery yesterday and was released home this afternoon. Except for the continuing gas issues and the pain when I try to use my abdominal muscles, and the Dr. had to repair a large hiatal hernia while inside, I feel great! Now starts the hard part - the post-op diet!

      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.
