The best advice I have, is to go into your surgery super duper hydrated, like drink over a gallon a day before. And do your walking as soon as you can. It helps move the gas and helps the muscles heal. Don't be a hero and take the pain meds if you need, but make sure you stay hydrated. That's paramount to everything else. It's really not scary, you'll do great!

You'll do great! I had my surgery in the beginning of January and I too was scared. It was actually my first surgery as well and I was terrified to be put under. The surgery is the easy part. You take the best nap and when you wake up, its done! The uncomfortable part is the gas pains when waking up. They fill you with so much gas during the procedure but as soon as you are able to start walking about even just sitting up and getting the gas out and those pains will go away. I wish you luck!

      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.
