Welcome! June is the best group. Just sayin.
I talked to admissions today because I got a z pack this morning for my throat. She said I should still plan on being there. As of now I go in at 9am tomorrow for 11:15 showtime. chicken or beef broth as my last meal? Maybe a couple popsicles. LOL. I was laughing at one of my last splurges at Olive Garden with a friend. I felt like I was eating like I was headed to the chair. LMAO

Wishing you good luck and good wishes :)

I think I’m next. I’m scheduled to arrive at the hospital at 530 in the morning and my surgery is at 730. I had to do the 2 week liquid diet and all Clear Liquids today. My nerves are so bad right now.

You've got this so calm those nerves and let the Drs handle it. Many prayers for a great experience. :)

Does anyone have suggestions of Multivitamins? My nutritionist said Centrum, flintstones, or a bariatric specific one. I'm looking for a bariatric one that has all that I need in one pill if possible. Any suggestions?

Have you given thought to the Patches? Either from the BP store or PatchMD.

I had my surgery yesterday and everything was a success. I am in pain but that much. My doctor said I will go home today. I am going to ask when do I start my Vitamins. I did pee and I went walking around the hospital

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Lucky! I tried but my insurance no longer covers Nutrition Direct. I was bummed out, and they were too expensive without insurance.

So initially they said I had a 70 dollar copay. Then I said “oh ok forget it then, my dr said they thought it would be free or almost free and they said I could use Centrum chewables which cost like 5 bucks, so you do the math...lol.” The lady laughed and agreed with me and then said “hold on” a minute and then came back and told me that my copay would be covered. Lol. Sooooo I would say if you let them know your doc expected you to have no copay but gave you a cheap alternative, they will accommodate. As someone who has worked in sales a very long time it may be worth the expense to them to keep his or her business as a prescribing dr.

I am miserable from survey yesterday. Mostly just nausea and vomiting more than pain. I can't get many fluids down.

      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.
