Hi folks this is Matt, Theresa's husband and scribe. This is a reprint of what I posted on OH regarding Theresa's status.

Just got home from hospital, and she had a really good night. But, while getting ready to leave hospital she had a bad bout of nausea and severe pain. Doc prescribed liquid pain killer(oh yeah), Pepcid AC extra strength, and Zophran for nausea. She also came home with a JP drain which will be removed next Wednesday.

Overall, shes doing pretty well and glad to be home. She plans to check in with you guys this evening or tomorrow. Now that we are home, I can now have control of the "TV flipper". LOL

Thanks for updating us, and tell her Tiff says "hang in there, and she better get her rest so we can hang out in a couple of weeks."

Glad to hear she is doing well.

      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.
