Your id always reminds me of an old TV show with Ryan Reynolds. "Two guys and a girl" ... it changed the name to "Two guys a girl and a pizza place". Seeing it makes me smilerolleyes.gif.

Thank you all. I am home! Not to much nausea any more. Pain meds work well but definatly know when they are done. I tried to go to every 6 hours today and I have been counting down the time. I was able to get in lots more Water and about double Protein since yesterday so I guess things are moving along. Miss my hospital walks. Not as much walking here. Try harder tomorrow.

I just had my surgery the day after yours and I have to say that the pain medication make me feel worse than anything.. The morphine pump made me really whoozy and the hydrocodone/tylenol combination made me nauseated. When I switched to liquid tylenol only, I did fine. But I also have the bulb with the lidocaine--that may be where most of the pain relief comes from. Hope you find what works for you and that you are better each day.

      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.
