Well 9:30pm. Recovery it's a little tough. I've had gastritis for years. I don't fart for some reason so getting the co2 out has been tough. I finally just burped for the first time thank God.

When I first got out the stomach pain was really bad but two hits of demirol and one of delotted (sp) and I slept and woke up better

Girls. To say you don't get hungry is a under statement. I've had nothing but Water all day. Zero appetite. Like literally zero. Gonna try broth and Jello tomorrow. I've gotten nauseous a couple times but held it back

Feeling ok right now. Blood pressure is a little high other wise I'm pretty good.

Yay burp. The gas is the hardest part of recovery but it's doable. Walk walk walk. Sip sip sip. And breath breath breath. There is this breathing treatment you di every hour to prevent pneumonia

I'll keep u posted! Thks!

My surgery is scheduled for 11/17th /15. I am scared. My husband does not support my decision. I will probably be alone for my surgery. Praying for God mercy and blessings.

Night was a little rough. Again due to being a no-fart person lol.

Much better today. Took last dose of pain meds and now I'm on Fluid counting. 4oz per hour. Started with protien shake. Now broth. Then Jello

Super excited becuz the liquid diet part is easy!. Cuz you're totally not hungry so not having to eat is almost a relief. Drinking much more appealing

Should be released this afternoon ????

      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.
