Hi QueenBX.... they did give me gas x plus I brought my own. It helped some but walking and breathing exercises are the best. I fell asleep today due to nausea med. plain Water make me gag so nurse said do flaored Water pack and I have been doing so . I will def parlay for you and I'm sure you will do great. I have 6 lap sites that are really small . I'm just sore but this too shall pass.

So glad you are doing okay! I will join you on the losers bench tomorrow. Will they let you have Gas-X strips? I hear a lot of people say that it helped them after surgery. I will keep you in my prayers!!

Gas X strips really helped me. The peppermint helped with nausea, and they kept my mouth wet since the entire first day and night I wasn't allowed to drink a thing.

They did help with the gas, I took 3 at a time to feel relief. But walking walking walking and some more walking helped a ton. Best of luck tomorrow.

My sleeve was done on the 6th. I spent a lot of time walking the halls, about everything 90 minutes-2 hours. That really helps. Or if that is too much, then try just standing for a couple of minutes

My surgery is 12/22, I am so nervous- I started my liquid diet today and I am so afraid of getting a hunger headache. I am trying to stay as hydrated as possible.

      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.
