Good Luck and break a leg!! I had a heck of a time sleeping last night as well. I'm just finishing getting ready to go. I have to be there at 8:15. See you on the other side.

Surgery went well. Pain was horrible and had some nausea so they kept me til 10pm. Went and got meds at pharmacy after left hospital and the pharmacist gave my husband a spoon to use for the meds. Unfortunately he just figured out that is it tsp not tbsp so I have been in excrusiating pain all night and day. He just gave me the correct dose so hopefully I will be in drug heaven soon!

I feel the same way as you do, i have been in a great deal of pain since leaving the hospital. I took some of the liquid lortab but i dont think it helped that much. Heres to hoping we both start to feel better real soon! Actually today hasnt been that bad, its just standing up, then sitting down that hurts like hell.

Sorry you have been hurting! Since we got the med situation under control I have been feeling much better. I have had a lot of nauesa though so I have been taking the Zofran. I called my drs office today and asked if I could take something else for pain and they said I could take liquid ibuprophen so I have been taking that every 4 hours as well. I haven't been able to eat much and I have been a little worried about that. I'm gonna start another topic about that and get some advice. I was able to eat about 1/4 cup of my protien shake and about a cup of broth. I also had about 3 small spoons of Jello. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I know I'm not getting enough liquids in. Let me know how you are. I am so excited I have a friend going through this with me. Talk to you tomorrow. sleep well!

      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.
