I made it through yesterday! I unfortuntely wokeup at 4 am with a Migraine which wasnt how I wanted to start the day.7 :30 am Pre op went good. I woke after surgery throwing up but I was so out of it that it didnt hurt. I slept off and on until about 5 pm. Then everytime they gave me pain meds I was dry heaving ... which was the absolute worst. They finally figured out at 1 am that they needed to change my pain meds to something else. I was up and walking at 2am and was getting around pretty good. Slept on and off until 7 am. I had my Barium swallow and everything was good. I finally got some broth to eat. I should be discharged within an hour or two. I hope everyone has a smooth surgery and a better post op experience than I had. That nausea kicked my butt. Good luck to everyone.


Yay congrats.

      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.
