I made it out alive. I had a massage Monday before my 11:30a check in at the hospital. My surgery was scheduled for 1:30p, but wasn't rolled into surgery until 4:30. At this point I was a grumpy bitch.

Woke up pretty rough in recovery. I was extremely nauseous and vomiting for the better part of the night until 4am. We figured it was because my doc forgot to change my pain meds from Delodid (sp?) to Morphine. Once I was put on morphine, it was the difference between night and day. I feel 110% better. I've been able to keep fluids down. I'm loving the diet cranberry juice - it goes down the ease and super yummy!

Anticipating to be discharged tomorrow. My surgeon was very impressed with the shrinkage of my liver and stomach. In fact it was the smallest liver and stomach he has seen in 17 years of bariatric surgery. I was pretty stoked to hear that ????????????????

Here are my battle wounds. Five, small 1"ish incisions. The purple is his measurements. post-255591-14447920967805_thumb.jpg post-255591-14447921053921_thumb.jpg

Usually in my experience, it's the morphine that causes more nausea vomiting, I was switched because of nausea and vomiting to the dilaudid. How about those gas bubbles don't like those one but are you having a hard time with those at all?

      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.
