With the revision I know it is a one night stay. My question is, who (if anyone) stayed the night with you? Did someone just drop you off and come back and pick you up the next day? We live approx 1.5 hours away from the hospital and I am just wondering what others, who have had to travel have done. Thanks

It was only a thirty minute drive to the hospital. My sister took me and stayed for a few hours after surgery. I told her that I was fine so went home. Her husband picked up the following morning.

No one stayed with me. Mother in law dropped me off. Husband came and visited for an hour first night. Then he came late the next afternoon and picked me up.

No one stayed with me. Hubby and mom stayed during the surgery. Mom had to go get kiddo from school and brought him up to say hello that night. They all left and mom picked me up the next day. She didn't even have to get out of the car!

      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.
