Congrats! I just had surgery 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm doing great! The hospital stay was no big deal. I have had no nausea and sipped the broth, ate the Jello and sipped the Water slowly. I was fine. No pain either. I hope for the same for you all. Good luck and do what the nurses tell you. Getting up and walking often throughout the day really made me feel better too. I even stood up to watch tv for short periods at a time. Felt better than laying in bed.

Best of luck to you all! My surgery is Monday as well! Didn't sleep well last night and upset tummy today. I am sure nerves and anxiety.

Good luck to all of you! I was nervous when I had it done in June (1st surgery ever), but now feel like it was completely worth it.

Yes the magnesium citrate was nasty. Very salty and sour. Getting nervous now about tomorrow.

I hope we all keep in contact to update each other. Good luck and sleep tight.

It's going to be great. You'll have no problems. You'll be sore and tired but you will have all that weight loss to look forward to.

      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.
