Hate that I'm not permitted any Water today it's been over 30 hours I haven't had anything ... everything in my mouth is so dry.
Tomorrow they do some test on me to check leaks , then they said I might also require blood transfusion

We were told to start with 1oz every 15 minutes for the 1st day. Second day, we could use a cup, but to progress slowly .

Cough is from the endo tube down your throat and anesthetic, walk and more walking....

Oh okay! I feel everything's I drink. Is that weird ?



I'm 6 days post-op and I still feel everything I drink. What's even more weird is the when I take medication, I can actually feel it go all the way down my esophagus and then plop into my stomach. At least that's what it feels like. So weird.

      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.
