Hi everyone. Just wanted to give you guys an update. After all that I ended up in the hospital for a week. My blood was pretty much acid and everything was shutting down. Ended up getting round the clock infusions and meds from Saturday morning till yesterday. They did stretch my stricture on Thursday as scheduled and now I'm finally home. I still don't feel at 100% but I'm getting fluids down with no issues and the dr gave me anti nauseous meds. I will probably need a second dilation in a few weeks. Thanks for all the prayers.

"A stricture is when the new connection between the stomach and small intestine heals, but as it heals, it can forms scar tissue that can make the opening of the connection smaller. This variety of gastric bypass side effects may even progress to the patient not tolerating any solid food or liquids."

      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.
