I'll be at the hospital at 7am. Not really nervous. Just hungry, the clear liquid diet is horrible. But I've lost 3 pounds in one day so that's a plus.

My surgery went well. No complications, I've been able to sip about 10 oz of Water in about 3 and a half hours. I haven't taken any oral pain med since being moved to a room. I've been burping like crazy though. I might actually be able to go home.

My surgery went smoothly but I am in a great deal of pain. Nothing to eat or drink today for me. I have an upper gi at 5 am to make sure there is no leak.

Wow Ashleyt26 that is great progress! You Are So Lucky. My recovery is just OK. I have found my one saving grace tonight tho. Doing laps around the surgery unit. Helps with the gas build so much

Walking definitely helps with the gas, I also noticed when I would take a small sip of Water I would burp which helped as well. As of this morning all my gas pain in gone. My largest incision is a lot more tender today than yesterday. And I have decided taking crushed Vitamins is really nasty, but so far I've been able to keep everything down. I also slept almost all night, with a few exceptions of having to use the restroom.

I am home. The drastic difference in pain I had the past two days is crazy! I'm finally passing gas. I think I did pretty good with getting fluids in. Not 64 Oz though. I'm definitely gonna try harder tomorrow. But I am definitely still very weak. How people go to work like a week after surgery beats me. I'm taking 5 weeks off.

      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.
