Did they say why you are still there and on clear fluids? I heard that you can be home within two days and on stage 2 of eating. Did you have any complications if you don't mind me asking?

Yes, I’m curious too as to why you are still in the hospital. I was told the norm is 1-2 days. Obviously, everyone is different... just curious. I’m scheduled for 9/15!

Did you get to go home today? I hope you don't think that I am being critical or judging you. I am more concerned and wondering since I am going to have my surgery on the 16th.

No I didn't have any complications, I did however have a drain that they needed to be removed before I could be released, other than that I was not nauseous or sick.

I am still on a full liquid diet which is proving to be pretty hard i dont know what eles I can eat besided broth for breakfast/lunch & dinner.

To be honest that 2 day in the hospital is just a guess, the pain i experienced was immense and I needed all the time they would give me in the hospital just to get me my mind and body together. I still don't have any regrets but I don't wanna fool anyone into thinking this was a cake walk. It was hard as hell and still is but hopefully as the days pass it will get easier. Good luck with your surgery.

      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.
