hey Kayacee,

I'm scheduled tomorrow as well, my surgery is at 1:30pm have to be at the hospital by 10:00am. I've been really anxious today, I didn't go to work because I knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate. I went shopping and paid some bills to take my mind off of things now I'm back at home trying to figure out what to do with myself. I've packed my bags, packed exercise pants to wear back home on Thursday I think they will be comfortable due to the bloating.

Good Luck Tomorrow, I'm sure everything will be fine.

I am 8 days out and wish you the best of luck. expect some soreness and have plans for sleeping upright after you get home was key for me. Still is, but you will do great. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi every1,

I am back home 5 days postop, doing well, just a little bloated (okay a lot) but i'm coping. I just can't make myself do Protein I am so tired of Protein Shakes. I can't do a lot of sweet stuff without food. Okay I hope every1 is doing fine. Keep in touch.

Hi Slim

Have you tried flavouring your shakes with sugar free syrups? It really helps. I am using whey protien powder that I got at Sam's club and its not so bad. I am 5 days post op today. I am doing well except for pain in the larger incision. I was hoping to go back to work this week, I work at a slow Dr. office. But I cannot walk without holding in the spot where it hurts. Also I am having issues with the broth. I am drinking plenty of fluids and eating Jello and popsicles so hopefully I can try the the broth again soon but right now the smell of it makes me sick.

Good 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.
