How are your incisions?

They are fine - 6 incisions (don't know why so many) Very little pain from the incisions.

I last took pain meds last night to help me sleep, & haven't taken any today.

The best thing about today though - taking a shower!!! It felt so good!

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1130 am. I'm very nervous but also excited. I'm hoping everything goes well!

The hospital totally screwed me. I was supposed to go in at 1130am..didn't go in until 8pm! Today I'm a little dizzy still but my stomach is healing pretty well.

I finally have my hunger back. Last night I thought i was beginning to feel hungry, and I confirmed that when I woke up this morning with a growling stomach. I can't wait to be able to start eating oatmeal beginning tuesday!

Only a couple of days to go, Eric! How funny is it to be excited over oatmeal?

Well... I was out visiting the guys at the fire house this morning & decided to check the scale while I was there (i don't have a scale at home). I'm down almost 7 pounds since my surgery just 5 days ago! It was great to see!!!

Thats great!

I sure can't wait to find out what my post op diet is like - the doctor didn't want to go over it until after the surgery (though I know it is low carb) because he says he wants you to focus on this stage before and then focus on the other stage after. I guess that makes sense........

      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.
