:thumbup:Okay, first of all, thanks to everyone who has been so supportive! I really appreciate it and really feel close to you guys now. You're the best!!

I have no hunger (which I know is only temporary) so it has been no problem sticking to my liquid diet. I actually went with my mom and went shopping. I got tired and run down and had to go and sit n the car, but I think that was more dehydration and lack of calories. I've moved to the full liquid stage this afternoon and oatmeal and milk went down fine. I can't feel anything weird when I eat and I can't really feel the port. I do have about five incisions. I'm not sure why so many, but they are slowly healing. I can sleep fine. It hurts when I turn over, but I can sleep on either side once I get there or on my back comfortably.

 

I actually feel pretty normal, other than I feel a little weak due to lack of calories. I'm trying not to obsess over the scale, but I am down 15 pounds since I started the pre-op diet and I can tell I'm still swollen and I haven't had a BM yet. I think the loratab makes you constipated. I'm weanin myself off of it and onto liquid tylenol. Now I have to eat/drink every hour that I'm awake. This is the recommended schedule until Tuesday.

8am-soupy cereal (milked down oatmeal, no clumps)

9am-water

10am-juice

11am-strained cream soup

12pm-jello

1pm-water or non caloric beverage, coffee is okay

2pm- nonfat milk

3pm broth

4pm milked down cream of wheat

5pm-water

6pm-strained cream soup

7pm-juice

8pm-jello sugar free pudding

9pm-nonfat milk.

 

To be honest, I haven't been keeping up with it because it seems like a lot. I'm trying to get better though and everything is going down fine.

My biggest issue right now is that they have not called in a liquid form of wellbutrin and crushed pills is disgusting. I'm going to call them again tomorrow.....

You sound like you're on the road to recovery. I'll be getting 5 incisions as well, my surgeon's norm. Thanks for the tip-I'm going to take my regular meds. to my surgeon's consult and ask him if they'll go whole or crushed, so I can plan liquid ones as needed. Thanks!
