Less than 24 hours post op I feel great. No pain. I finally got some gas relief. But I have coughed one of my incisions open. What I thought was as pain is actually swelling where they placed my port. My shoulder stopped hurting!!!!! I did figure out that if I sip sip sip I won't have the urge to cough. I wish I would have figured that out 12 hours ago..

I haven't had any coughing but I did have some broth that made me feel like my stomach was bloating and hurt a bit. Took a longer walk and that helped. Right now my incisions and a persistent headache are the pain sources but they are bearable. Of course the morphine helps :)

I haven't had anything to eat. I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. I will try that without the noodles. What with the headache? I have noticed that I don't have the ire to pee anymore..... I'm usually the potty master.

Hahahaha. I am surprised how much I've been peeing in comparison w my intake, tho I'm also hooked to an IV.

With the Unjury be careful not to heat the Water past 140 degrees. I ignored that b/c I didn't want warm liquid, I wanted hot and it got totally funky and had to throw it away.

Yesterday I was peeing IV Fluid. I've had about 4 ounces of Fluid since I've been home and two pop sickles.

Mine isn't yet but they just gave me a lozenge that helped. The inside of my lip is all really raw and swollen from where the breathing tube was taped. Think it was pressing my lip into my tooth. Ah well.

Does anyone else have to keep a food diary? I have to take it with me to my first appointment. I'm fine with that it olds me accountable for my new lifestyle.

I don't have to - but I prefer to. I use myfitnesspal app and if you go to their full website on a computer you can print out your daily entries.

      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.
