Update for those who are wondering...

I had an earlier post saying how I did not feel well. It turned out I had a narrowing in my pouch that was causing my nausea. I had an endoscopy this morning and they were able to open the narrowing in my stomach. The doctors just came by. They are going to put me back on puréed diet. They are going to try and take me off all IV meds so changing it all to by mouth. They said it might take some time for me to feel better. They are also ordering ensure for me so maybe I can get some Protein in. I asked how much longer I might need to stay here and they said there are a few different ways it can go. 1. If I can eat my dinner and Breakfast without a problem and I feel better I can leave tomorrow. 2. If I eat all my meals tomorrow I can go home tomorrow. 3. If I can't eat anything still they will need to put a pic line in and feed me nutrients through my veins???? I would definitely appreciate some good thoughts sent my way! I've been in the hospital since Sunday and I'd love to go home and stop feeling so sick! Thanks you guys!

Ugh, that sounds like absolutely no fun at all (understatement, I know!). I am really glad that your medical team seems to be taking such excellent care of you. Fingers crossed for happy eating and no pic line!

      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.
