Besides meds, my nurse gave me alcohol swabs, had me put one on my nose and take deep breathes. I had an issue with dry heaving my first night. Don't get up too quickly or drink too quickly. *Post-op day 2

Zofran phenergan and other anti nausea meds. Also if you are still on any pain meds other than liquid Tylenol they might make you extremely nauseous. Once I woke up from surgery I refused all opiate pain meds because they made me so sick to my stomach. You can also request a scopolamine patch, which lasts for about three days. Because of how sick the pain meds/anesthesia makes me, I had them put the patch on me PRIOR to surgery. Zofran that dissolves in liquid was the first thing in every morning once I was home. Just breathe and walk or pace it helps a lot. Good luck!

My surgery date is April 25th and last night I received a bunch of meds in the mail which include liquid Tylenol, scar cream, Lidocaine, Pepcid, Omega 3, Zofran and a nausea patch. I was instructed to put the patch behind my ear the night before surgery to help with the nausea. I sure hope the patch in conjunction with the Pepcid and Zofran will help!!

      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.
