Whew guys, what a world wind the last couple of days have been. I got through the surgery but the toughest part is the gas pains. It was really bad on surgery day after surgery and it was so bad I stayed a extra day in the hospital and am now home. I am finding it difficult to sip all the time as I seem full. I am burping and passing gas the other way so I seem to be doing fine in that department. I hear my stomach making noises all the time though... Is that normal?

I can't answer your questions because I haven't had the surgery yet. However, I just wanted to chime in and congratulate you on making this first step towards a wonderful future. Be proud of yourself. My surgery is on 23 Nov, so by then you can hold my hand and encourage me through the highs and lows. I am praying that you have already been through your worse day!

I'm 4 months out. I still have the strange noises in my stomach. I kid around and say it sounds like an alien in there! But everything is fine. I'm down 70 lbs. So I am not complaining. No problems and nothing hurts. All my check ups have been fine! I'm so happy I did this!! I was wondering if I wasn't taking small enough sips or if I was getting air in my stomach??

      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.
