Ah wishful i bet ur so excited and counting down the days it really is a life changing thing the first wk might not be great after op but after that things will look up i was very sick after anastectic for 3days but i was grand i just felt faint and nauseous but im one of few everyone else i know was grand and in great form and just had a little pain i hadnt pain as such just discomfort from swelling i had tracksuit bottoms and a top going in but they wouldnt look at me after op my mum had to go get me new stuff so id advise taking mega big bottoms with u just in case cos trust me u need real loose clothing even pick up a cheap pair somewhere u'l be glad u did i was very bruised had a complete black belly for 3wks but anyone else i know didnt lol

Hey wishfull well if u dont do jogging bottoms id advise anything elasticated and on the big side i live in tracksuit stuff but when i say my normal tracksuit stuff wouldnt look at me i mean it and the last thing u want is something tight on the wounds on top of a huge swollen belly oh and one last thing the pain medication they give u to take home are disolvable and are discusting i couldnt stomach them at all id get nurofen meltlets they just melt on ur tongue and are lemon flavoured and always handy to have in ur bag as being banded we cant swallow the big tabs even soluable solpadene are ok but the meltlets are just brilliant even though i must say i didnt take any pain relief when i left hospital bar trying those horrible tabs they gave which i spat out

      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.
