2nd day after surgery. Surgeon just came in and cleared me to go home today. Still feeling a little nauseous from the anesthesia.

I had nausea from the anesthesia as well, but was resolved by second day post op. It will probably improve with time. Are your pain meds part of the cause of the nausea?

Thanks. Feeling better. It seems like once they pulled the drain tube the nausea subsided. Thanks again for the well wishes.

Going home is such a major milestone. There's no place like home to help in recovery. Congrats!

they had to give me a strong does of anti-nausea meds every single time they gave me pain meds, becuase I would immediately feel so, so sick whenever they gave me pain meds. Good to hear you are feeling better. Take care of yourself. :)

      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.
