The surgery went great! I went at 630 am left 8-9am I went home to bed picked up pain Meds and nausea Meds on way home. I had ice packs Hp, gas x strips, Protein Drinks, Soups ect. Prestocked. I had light pain on my left side( port side for me) so laid on right side with HP on left back area and ice pack as needed on front. I did take pain med every 4 hrs not the 6 hrs on btl. I wanted to stay on top of so too 1/2 doses not recommended! 3 day I was up and around feeling good. I had foot surgery on 30th.

I quit smoking 7 months ago and I'm SO glad I did. I absolutely love being a non-smoker.

I used ecigs to quit. Specifically ProSmoke: http://www.prosmokestore.com/

I essentially used them as a nicotine replacement. It's smokeless cigarettes. You inhale Water vapor instead of smoke. I started smoking them like "normal" cigarettes and slowly tapered off. Within 2 months, I wasn't using the ecigs anymore either.

I tried to quit for years. I tried Patches, gum, and yes even Chantix. For me, the ecigs is what finally worked.

Best wishes to you!

      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.
