Got home from the hospital today and I;m so sore, The worst thing is my arms from the IV - the look like watermelons. So red and really tight. Otherwise, feel pretty good. I was going to go back to work tomorrow (working from home at desk) but decided to hold off til Tuesday. I am still so very tired. I can be talking to someone and jusf fall asleep! Walking does help with the pain.

Well awesome news ! Welcome to the loser's bench and keep us posted on your progress. Just keep moving and the uncomfortableness should work itself out. Just don't be afraid to use the pain meds. Or maybe if you have something for anxiety to help you rest, those help a bunch too.

      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.
