I'm sorry. The beginning of this journey has been so difficult. I know you're ready. Try to focus on the fact your body is healing and you've come along way. You're almost there. You are so strong.

How long have you been admitted in hospital now?

I’m really sorry this has happened to you.

So sorry, Emma. Fingers double crossed that you get good news next week. Being hungry is no fun at all. I could see why your dr would say that it is a good sign your appetite is back.

Hang in there! You are on the home stretch now ;)

You have surely been through the wringer. Did they say why they didn’t just go back in and fix the problem surgically? I’m not a doctor, I’m just curious why that couldn’t be done.

I will pray that Monday brings good news you are can go home!

      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.
