Glad everything is going well. The 2nd day was rough for me too. Between the drugs and gas, I was miserable or asleep. Gas X strips are an amazing thing. Walking helps too. So like everyone else says... WALK WALK WALK...

While you are home rest even if you feel great, I overdid and last week I paid for it....

Ok my surgeon just told me he's keeping me another day because I'm not getting enough fluids in. I told him it hurts to drink and he said that should not be happening, so we are going to work on this today...I don't know how people say they are out shopping 1 day after surgery, that is truly amazing. My uvula got pretty beat up too during the surgery, did this happen to anyone else? I can literally feel it hanging at the back of my throat, SO GROSS! Anyway, I'm hopeful for a better day today, and I will try and drink more and walk more :-) hugs...

Yay! So glad to "see" you. Sorry to hear you are having problems. Remember the mantra everyday gets better. I don't know how anyone goes out the first 5 day I am only feeling up to it on day 6.

      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.
