It's normal to be nervous and question what you are doing - I almost passed out the morning of surgery as I was showering I was so nervous!

Good luck - you will do amazing!

So happy for you! Hope you're doing well. Since you just had your surgery I hope you won't mind if I ask you a couple questions

Did you have a lot of nausea after surgery? Did they give you anti-nausea Meds?

And how difficult was it to get fluids down immediately after surgery?

Only a little nausea at first.

They did give me meds for it and had no problems since.

Had ice chips at first, then sips of Water, no problems.

Today is my second day. I get broth and tea.

They gave me anti-nausea med in my iv as well as a patch behind my ear. I didn't have a lot of nausea per second but found myself having that feeling that I was going to be sick a few times. I managed to take deep breaths and control it. I didn't want to throw up. I struggled getting liquids down especially on the 2nd day post op. I feel better today so I'm hoping to get more down.

      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.
