Hopefully if it anything like mine you won't remember anything passed the anesthesiologist giving you the pre sedative, lol, I don't even remember the pain cause I was kept well medicated the first day, I was very uncomfortable the first day until I got to walk that night, I didn't want anything or tolerated anything except very cold Water and ice chips, the nurses kept waking me up for blood pressure and other stuff, and I kept dozing off, I asked to get off the morphine and take my home pain meds the next morning, and was home that afternoon, I wish I had listened sooner to people who had told me to walk as soon as you can, it really does make a difference right away, it helps with mostly the nausea and gas pain, and the more you walk the faster the symptoms go away, good luck and see you on the loser's bench, my surgery was in San Antonio......

      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.
