On day 3. I'm mentally feel great. Positive attitude like "I got this". Still always feel the pain, but staying on scedule with pain meds, gax-ex, zofran, and xanax, so I'm doing ok. Think I may have over done it a little since I got home, just moving around and pittlling

It's day 3, so I'm excited about taking a shower and fixing myself up. Since the sun is shining, I may try to take a short walk. I still have a lot of recovering to do, but feeling awesome for getting to this pount. Loving my oz. Of broth, Jello, and Protein Drink. Makes that 2 week diet worth it now. LOVE being on the "other side" now. Thanks for the support on here. I will try and post some pics as I progress. If anyone can advise me on my sideways profile pic, would really appreciate it! Picture I'm attaching now is my release from the hospital.

Had surgery on the 19th. Came home yesterday. Raging headache and a pinched nerve feeling in my neck and left shoulder area. Can't figure out best way to get my personal mess down. Afraid they will get stuck. Dave

Hope the headache is gone. Use heating pad and gaxex for shoulder pain. Hope today was better.

      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.
