Hope everything goes well tomorrow-- look forward to hearing from you!



Everyone is different. My surgery was 6pm and by 6am next day I was up and walking. Not using any pain meds. That medication drove me crazy. It has been a week today for me and I am back to work. I am not doing any bending or lifting because I just want to get better fast. Make sure you have your broth and Water all the time. Popcicles help to change it. Protein is a must. I lost 20 pounds since I started with the diet

[mention=315500]emirn1[/mention] [mention=316391]Emileana[/mention] thanks ladies and I will definitely let you guys know how it goes. I have to collect myself because the fear is taking over.

I was a basket case the night before my surgery. But try to keep focused on your why. It's over before you know it and you're onto your new journey and life. And honestly this is worth every second of discomfort I have felt and am feeling. I have never been happier in life because I have so much hope for what my future holds!

The gas pain isn't the best but I am doing pretty good other then that. Trying to make sure I eat enough and drink enough. But feeling very very happy with how things are going. Best decision I ever made!

Sucks it makes you nauseous. I have been walking, will try the heating pad. I have also heard laying on your left side helps. I tried it in the hospital and it seemed to work for me.

I might try that as well though that's where I have a bulk of my pain is on my left side of my tummy. I know I have passed a lot of the gas already so hopefully it doesn't take too much longer for the rest to pass

      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.
