Ugh im so sorry you are struggling! The gas pain was horrendous. Honestly not taking the dilauded (morphine button) helped me. It make me so sluggish that the gas pain felt overwhelming the first day. I SELDOM pushed it unless I knew I could fall asleep. I just used the toradol they gave me and was able to get around so much easier.

You've heard the term" baited breath" well I'm reading this all with baited eyes, I think this telling is more worthy of filing than the 2nd hand instructions from surgeons, they,May have studied,it but you girls have and are living it.
I probably will be trying to sip, but I'll go teaspoon by teaspoon, if it is mandated by own condition. This does not frighten me, I instead realize the hightened awareness needed. As I read I only say a prayer at each line.
I found this in this in the Notes, Observations and Prayers section of my Weight Loss Journal'-'might be Psalms, Proverbs or somewhere else,in the Bible
My health may fail and my spirit go weak but God remains the strength of my heart, He is Mine forever.
Love. ❤Hugs. Prayers🙏 for all of You

Well to give you guys an update, had to go to the ER yesterday cause I was vomiting uncontrolably. Haven’t had a bowel movement since before my surgery. The doctors order a CT and it seems my intestines are semi paralyzed. So I was admitted again. Haven’t had anything to drink since yesterday. Feeling hungry and grumpy but no pain. Don’t know when they are letting me go. At least I had a good night sleep since my surgery. Trying to stay positive but this has been really hard for me.

Hope you recover quickly. I got sleeved tjis Monday and when I got home, it was horrible. I couldn't keep nothing down. Srill no bowel movement but I don't feel bloated. I have to say today i feel a whole lot better than I did one the 2nd and 3rd day. PS i took a sip of mint tea. It helped settle my tummy. Keep us posted and feel better soon.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
