I got home just a few hours ago and took a nap. I am feeling OK...just a little uneasy. Can't really complain about much...just an uneasy feeling...don't know what to do with myself. Having a little trouble getting my fluids down....just really don't want anything. I don't want to get dehydrated though either. I'll up date you all more later. I think I'm going to take my uneasy back to bed! :):P

Been thinking about you Carmen! Congrats on getting thru your surgery. Take everything in sloooow mo for the next few days! Sip, rest, walk:) Your uneasiness is common as you have a whole new lifestyle to adapt to and an itty bitty tummy that just needs some TLC. You're going to great! So happy you're on the other side and will look forward to your update...hang in there, hon :)

Glad you are home and ok. I too am not getting all the liquid down that I should. I don't think I am getting dehydrated but well it all just doesn't seem to fit yet. Jello seems to go down pretty easy though.

Hey all! I'm doing well. I just finished up a world wind week. I had a test, quiz, lots of reading and a paper due all while trying to heal and stay awake for it all. I have the next 5+ days of no classwork....I'm not gonna know what to do with myself. I'm so happy and feel so light! I think I might float away.

Anyway, I had my 1 week check up today. I am down almost 15 lbs or 17. You know the whole clothes no clothes thing. I am feeling good. My incisions are good. I moved on to blenderized foods today and am very very happy to have real food even if it is mushy and blended. I hope I can spend some of my free time over the next few days catching up on all you wonderful people :) I hope all is well with everyone. :) Carmen

      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.
