Well, it's been 4 days post-op. I am back at work! I think my worst day was yesturday (diarrhea! Sorry folks). The incision pain was tolerable, stayed on pain meds Friday the 2nd (day of surgery) then Saturday and Sunday. Had shoulder pain also, and with a heating pad and my wonderful son massageing me, it was also tolerable.

Today was the first day I have felt hungry. I drank 2 sips of Protein Drink this morning and that was all I needed. Been drinking Water like crazy. If anyone has any questions, please feel free. Everyone on here has been so helpful.

Best of luck to those getting their's soon!

      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.
