@@Donegirl4life - thinking of you today! Best of luck!

@@Titaniumsleeved2014 - mine is Wednesday, as well! Soft foods/protein shakes today and Clear liquids tomorrow. I should've taken today and tomorrow off of work, because I'm positively useless with nervousness/excitement.

Praying for you...... One week from today will be my turn . I don't know how to feel my emotions are all over the place.

Thanks! Praying and sending positive energy to you. It's natural to have varying feelings. Be gentle with yourself. We are all here for you.

Thanks! All went well. Having really bad tube pain. It may be gas. The nurses will get me up to walk pretty soon.

Thanks, chica! The pain is beginning to dissipate. I started to walk around. It definitely helped having the binder on. I'm ready to go home now!

A few tips:

- follow directions!

- trust your body

- it's okay to ask for pain medicine, you do not get brownie points for taking pain. It only raises your blood pressure

- do not try to overdo it!

- walking helps with the gas pain

- it's okay to hit the nurse button when you feel anything out of sorts, you are not bothering them

- allow people to help you

@@Donegirl4life Congrats! And I'm glad you're doing well.

When you are feeling up to it, any details you care to share, I'm anxious to know given you're at the same hospital with the same doctor where I will be this Monday.

Check-in, pre-surgery, recovery, getting to your room, liquids, how you're feeling, etc, etc. Anything you care to share would be much appreciated! Thank you.

This is my seventh post op day. I'm feeling pretty good - not much pain at all. However, the one thing that IS a pain is trying to get all the liquids in! The nurse from the hospital called to check up on me and said if I get at least one 20-ounce bottle of the Isopure in a day that's pretty good. Anyone else having issues getting their fluids?

BTW - congrats to those that just had their surgery. I knew it would go well!

1st day post op. Miserable from two tablespoons of veggie broth, drinking since 645 this morning. But I will keep that in mind. I literally have to take ten every hour to get it down.

The very first sip I took from the little cup was a bit more than I should have tried. I threw it up. I know what I did wrong and it hasn't happened again! just pace yourself. By the time I finished ONE item on my Breakfast tray - the lunch tray arrived! Hang in there girl!

      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.
