I am home now too! I had surgery at 8:15 and was home by 12:00 today! I feel great!! I have no gas pain, but a little incession pain and soar throat. Other than that, I am able to swallow fine and pee like crazy! Thanks for the kind thoughts, and I am very glad we all have each other to go through this!

Stareeide4u- Congratulations. Never thought about the fact that I'm a true bandser now. I was lucky and most of my gas stayed in the stomach area, but had lots of pain due to scar tissue from my previous surgeries. Now on day 5 my port area is the only one that really is sensitive. I ordered Unjury online, plus I found some Atkins on sale. Plus it was mocha cappachino which I love. There's so many, and it seems like most people get bored after a while and change brands. Again, Congrats and I hope everything goes great.

      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.
