Well, surgery went well. I woke up in a lot of pain. I'm still capable of sleeping on my stomach if I'm careful, so I did that, and when I woke up, I felt significantly better. :) Still hurting and walking, but that's it.

my surgeon only required 1 day liquid diet but I had to lose weight through a required program to get approved. Lost about 20 lbs.

Today is a lot better than yesterday! Not much gas pain left, and out of four incisions, only the ones on the ends really hurt. Mine are all in a horizontal line. I think I know which one the port is behind because it's always sore there, no matter what, but I don't feel very ill or in a ton of pain, and I'm actually feeling pretty good overall.

How is it sleeping on your side? Im a huge side sleeper and have been wondering if I would be able to sleep comfrotably once I got home.

      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.
