Well Friday the 22nd had surgery. Went to recovery for a while. Then they sent me to my room. Later that Friday I started throwing up blood then had diarrhea.I did that the rest of that day. Saturday morning about 5 I sent for the nurse because I had to go to the restroom. She helped me up. I got dizzy and the next thing I knew I was on the floor. I was there for about 45min. They got me on the bed. I stand in bed for the rest of the day.

I noticed that my foot was hurting and I kept telling everyone.

They sent me for a CT SCAN they found the leak and I had to go back into surgery and stop the bleeding. I had the to have 3pints of blood.

Well my doctor came in and check on me and I told him that my foot was hurting. He had it x rayed and come to find out my foot is broken. Now I have to go the surgeon and schedule for a foot surgery. This has been a real experience. I don't think I ever want to go through this again.

      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.
