I had horrible nausea and light headedness so I could hold down any liquid I won’t be going home until tomorrow. It has finally started to pass but still there a bit.

I’m sorry love. They put a patch behind my ear before surgery and were giving me zofran every 4 hours and that has help a lot but I’m concern about nausea when I get home though

Rocking the pre OP look! My surgery was Monday, as well. Nausea and gas pain was horrible. The pain boosted my blood pressure sky-high and messed with blood sugars. Lots of injections. Day 3 and I'm home. Finally passing gas.....tmi....i never thought I'd be so excited about this. Sipping Water and diluted apple juice. Walking during commercials in the Hallmark Christmas movies 🎅. Congratulations to you! This is a big commitment to better health (And regular sized clothes) and a helpful opportunity.

      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.
