If you are taking any kind of pain meds it can happen. Hope you heal quickly and bounce outta bed! :) Sandy

Actually I'm not in any pain so I'm really not using pain pills, and I have been outta bed since I got home except for sleeping at night. But thanks SandyC2 it is getting better though.

I would call the number on your release instructions, you don't want to get dehydrated. I would start drinking Water. Hope you are feeling well otherwise.

I was banded yesterday and had to stay overnight. I was having that problem too and it was that i was dehydrated even though I had the intravenous liquids. They had to "load me up" by increasing the amount dispensed. What a difference in how I felt once they did this, it was amazing! They had to do it again today. I know this is personal, but the little pee that is coming out, it is dark yellow or regular?

      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.
