Does anyone know if you can take charcoal caps with you to the hospital to take post-op and also, if anyone has used them, have they been helpful with the gas issue? I take them at home sometimes to help with GI issues...

chamomile tea worked wonders. it works on colicky babies and it worked for me after surgery

I’m sorry you are going through this. My surgery is scheduled the 27th and I’m 90% sure I’m going to cancel it. I’m terrified of complications. I hope things get better.

just curious how your feeling about getting the surgery now

12/19 I was discharged from the hospital early that morning my midline infiltrated with potassium. Late afternoon they still allowed me to go mainly because I had my follow up with the Dr the next day 12/20. At my appt low oxygen, sweating, couldn’t get in more then 10oz, terrible pain in my arm. My surgeon sent me right to the ER finding out I have a Blood clot in my arm. I really do pray and hope i’m not the girl that’s always back to the hospital

Are you home now? Feeling any better?

      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.
