Everything went ok. Struggling to get liquids down a little and very gassy once that goes away i think I will be ok.

Congrats! Glad everything went swell. I have my op tomorrow 10/20 and seem to be rather calm. I know tomorrow though will be a new way of life from here on out.

Keep us posted please!

Thanks,

I've been able to get liquids down,but not full liquids. Yogurt sat like a lump in my throat. Now I'm waiting for discharge until after lunch tray to see if it's better

I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

I'm currently in the waiting room room waiting to be called for my operation. Not nervous but definitely got many things on the mind.

That's great! Did you try the Gas X strips? They REALLY helped me. I know some people say that they can't help because the OR gas is different than gas from digestion, but my doctor said they would help and they did. It makes sense because they want you to burp and fart after surgery to get rid of it, lol. I only had bad gas pain briefly and I used 4 in a row and it was gone within like 30 mins. Walking definitely helped as well.

The liquids are tough at first, I didn't meet my minimum until day 3. If you're still in the hospital and getting IV hydration then I wouldn't worry too much.

      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.
