Thanks guys!!!!

I was doing okay the night of, but I think it was because I was still doped up :P

Yesterday was pretty rough, lots of gas pain under my ribs and shoulders. I went for a walk but I think I pushed myself too far.

Today I'm doing a bit better but it still hurts to inhale and when I move around, better than yesterday though. Today I am able to drink clear fluids with a little less pain too. Still on gravol,codeine and tylenol.

Looking forward to getting back on my feet and back in to the swing of things!

Even though it hurts to inhale, MAKE yourself do big deep ones a couple times a day ,as well as some coughing. I know it sucks but its good for ya to help prevent pneumonia .

Glad ur surgery went well. Best of luck!

      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.
