Update. Oh my goodness. Surgery went good from what my husband said. Doc did find and repair a hiatal hernia while in there. The gas pains I'm assuming in my upper belly and both shoulders is almost bringing me to tears. Have only walked so far as to go to the bathroom twice. Shift change in an hour. I will try the bathroom again and then try walking to see if I relieve this pain. Still on IV fluids. Out of all day I have had only had two ice chips. Mouth is so dry.

July 28!! Suppose to start the liquid diet on the 12th, but started today.

I'm very excited and not the least bit nervous.... so far. I don't usually worry about things until it's time to happen. I'm suppose to be at the hospital at 5 am and scheduled for 7 am, so I won't have much time to be nervous.

If I don't quit having food funerals, I am going to gain 20 pounds before my surgery.

Me too I'm 8/8 so I'm not quite at liquid diet stage yet. I made a list of all the things I'd really miss and have been eating them all! I try to balance it out (Greek yogurt, salad, Protein drinks.. then enchiladas and margaritas for dinner...) but I'm SO afraid to see my surgeon next week because as of today I'm 4 lbs above where I was when I saw him the first time a few months ago. I'm ready to take this leap and commit and do it right, but also, I want to say goodbye to ice cream. Ugh.

My surgery is on the 28th too! I started my pre-op a little early with some solid Protein until the 11th. My liquid starts on the 14th!

I'm not nervous either...just planning and preparing to take advantage of that first 6 to 9 months!

How long until the magnesium citrate works? I finished the bottle about an hour ago and now I'm just waiting.

I will be converting my band to sleeve on July 8th.

At my pre op today my surgeon was happy to see I've lost 26 pounds for surgery. All my tests are done.

Surgery is next week!!! I'm thrilled! So here comes the question....

Did anyone use norco for pain relief after surgery?

Good morning all. For those that asked. I'm in Arkansas. It's 4:42 am now. I got up walked quite a bit last night. I have taken myself to the bathroom every time after first initial time. IV fluids and antibiotics are still in. Wish that would come out. But it's for my own good. Slept off and pretty well. Having upper pain a bit still and upper chest/shoulder pain. But it's not enough that I need pain meds. I only had two ice chips in recovery. And three since I been in my room and I got extremely nauseous to where I haven't tried to eat anymore ice chips. . Idk if that is going to bad on me when doc gets here. He is supposed to come in and see me from what I've been told by 7am. Nurses have already said for sure I will be here tonight too. Which doc did tell me he likes his patients to stay two nights. Hope everyone else is doing well. Thank you all. Continuing praying for a speedy recovery.

      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.
