Thank you everyone. Hopefully ill be going home tomorrow. I had a choice of going home or staying another night, so i decided to stay one more night to make sure my pain is under control. Plus i needed to work on my Fluid intake. I have walked so much that i could walk the loop with my eyes closed. I didnt really have gas issues until they took me off my IV meds and started them in pill form. It wasnt too difficult to make the gas go away until tonight. Ive tried a lil of everything. Maybe after i fall asleep it will exit and i wont hurt as much. Good luck to every one that is on their way to a new person, and a very speedy recovery. Thank you guys also for the great support.

      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.
