Spent the day in recovery because there weren't any beds available on the Surgical ICU. Surgery at 7:30 - woke up in agony and major nausea at around 12:30. My Mom and Man came in to see me at 1:30 but felt so horrid I told them to head home. They were waiting since 6am. Anyway - feel much better. Very little gas. Some acid or that kind of uncomfortable feeling/pain. I'm hitting the Dilaudid button a fair amount. Sat up for a while in recovery and now in a room and took a walk (just 1 lap for now!). Thanks for thinking of me and for your prayers.

How are you feeling today? Do you get to go home? I am two weeks ahead of you and graduated from full liquids to soft foods today (and, with my surgeon's ok, went for my first post-op jog). So far, so good! Every day gets easier!

      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.
