Charliewt216: I had my RNY 9 hrs ago & have had very little pain (nothing but Tyelnol since PACU). It

just hurts when I sit up, using my abs. My throat is a little raw from the endotracheal tube, too. I've had zero nausea, & have already drunk 108 oz. of water/protein shakes.< /p>

I thought it would be nice to hear a non-scary story. You might come out of surgery a lot better than you thought, like I did.

Hope all goes well for you.

Glad you are doing well. ????

Insurance finally approved me and I am scheduled for a band to bypass next Wednesday, July 20th! I am so glad to be a part of this July group!

We are having surgery the same day, how are you feeling?
.

I am a tiny bit nervous but mostly excited. I think insurance putting up a fight about covering it has really made me appreciate being able to get it. I am ready to get this weight loss started. How are you feeling as its getting closer?

So I'm getting more nervous. Surgery day is tomorrow and I had trouble falling asleep last night. I was thinking about everything I had to pack and wondering about so much. Rough night. I was hoping to sleep in since today is liquids only day ... but no luck there :/. Are you ready for tomorrow?

Yes. I am ready. I have been waiting for this and I am ready to not be so big. But I am nervous too. Today is liquids only for me too. I am trying to stay distracted with housecleaning and errands. Best of luck tomorrow! It is neat to know I've got a surgery date twin. I hope it all goes well for you and you have minimal pain.

      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.
