I got the call. I have to be at the hospital at 5:00AM tomorrow. I am excited yet very nervous as I have never had any type of surgery before. Can't wait for this part to be over so I can start my journey to being healthier.

5am. Wow. Your surgery may have already been done before I even get to the hospital.[emoji3] .

I'm excited and nervous too. Already had the talk with myself, Why are you doing this again.

Thank you! I will have a heparin shot before surgery so I am not looking forward to that.
Thanks for the advice!
How are you feeling??

Well congratulations on having surgery, being dismissed so quickly which means you're recovering well. Now you will be starting a new phase of l8fe, may everything work well for you.

I can answer your visual problem, SCOPALAMINE it is notorious for just that, told my Doctor not to give me any, haven't had it for years, last time I swung Bipolar and wanted to kill myself, was going to jump out of a 6th floor window. Yeah weird but TRUE! I'm just ducky🐦 as long as I don't have THAT!

I had mine at 7am CT time today Jan 31st. When I got out I had really bad gas pains. First 5-6 hours were a little rough but after that barely any pain m. Just gas pain here n there. This wasn't bad at all :) Goodluck all!

That's good that you are seeing better.
Make sure your sips are small and walk every hour!

      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.
