Preop class? I have a preop appointment with my surgeon, but no class. Do you know what you'll be doing in it?

Thank.

Part of the day is with the nutirtionist, part with the surgeon. I'll meet the anesthesiology doc. I have to take a quiz on his small handbood and I'll preregister with the hospital. I'll also weigh in :sad:. Still working on that. I'm sooooooooooooooo hungry all of the time!!! I know it sounds like a lot but I'm glad he is thorough!

Hi everyone! I was banded on 12/1. I spent the night in the hospital, even though I had litearlly 0 pain. I had no gas pain or pain around my incisions.

The biggest thing for me was how nauseous I felt afterwards and then having to sleep at a 45 degree angle.

I was discharged from the hospital this morning and am back home, and I will admit that I'm having a bit of pain now, so I'm going to take some pain meds and take my (already 6 pounds lighter) booty back to bed. lol

Anyway, just wanted to check in and wish the rest of the December Delights an easy surgery and a quick recovery! :sad:

      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.
