I just saw you posted on other topic! Glad you are doing well. So it seems like most are spending only one night in the hospital. Has that been the experience for those that have had surgery thus far?

Hi everyone!! Surgery went better than expected!! The hardest part was not getting any sleep the night before surgery, & only 2 hrs. at the hospital. Very tired. My first sips of Water & Protein mix made me a little nauseous in the hospital, but other than that I did really well. Got home yesterday afternoon feeling really good but very tired. The hard part is drinking water & your protein mix. They gave me 5 -1oz cups to put my protein & water in. Drinking 2 of protein mix & 3 waters to be finished in 1 hour. Then I walk after I have those down around the house. Your time is spent sip sip sip you can't take the whole 1 oz at one time, thats what makes it so time consuming, you have to wait a couple of minutes to take the next sip. then walk take Vitamins pills etc. I don't know how anybody could work or take care of other's during this 2 week time. My incision's are very minimal with no pain. My stomach slight pain, but I put a heating pad (not too hot) on it & it helped. One thing I did that didn't feel so good, I took pain meds when I went to bed last night. You can have 1or 2, so I thought I need sleep terribly & I took 2, one at a time, I waited 5 min. to take the 2nd one. I felt like they both got stuck for good 2 hrs. but it finally went away. They had told me to wait 10min. before taking a second pill, I will know better nextime. Well I better get off here, I have to go sip sip! Take care everyone! I've added the new dates for you who wasn't on the list!! Praying that everyone's surgery turns out as good as mine has!!

@@edie091371 So sorry you have to stay in the hospital another night! Praying for a good out come & sending hugs!!!

We now have 87 people on our October list of Surgery's

      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.
