wow what a day... first i was suppose to hve surgery at 1045 and didnt get in to the OR until 1pm.. everyone was so nice... i cant complain.. Apparently i started to wake up during the surgery so they had to put me back out. I was shot when i came too... i felt so much pressure in my chest... like i was haivng a heart attack. The gas pains in my chest and up in my shoulders are horrible. I called my surgeon when i got home lastnight because i was so naucious.. he told me not to take the liquid tylenol with codein.. that it might make me sick.. to just take extra strength tylenol. thank goodness i bought it in advane. I just feel alot of pressure. I have five incisions. four small and one bigger one. Glued together. My next appt is in seven days. liquids for two weeks and then mushies for another two. The hard part is over... thank goodness.. I just need to feel better!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU WITH SURGERIES COMING UP.. i can say .. everyone is different.. my aunt had the surgery on july 28th and it was a walk in the park.. no pain.. nothing!!!

      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.
