Thank you everybody! Well, I am finally home. I got home last night. I am having a problems getting down the fluids along with the meds. Just too much for my stomach to handle. I guess I had a bad time of it in the recovery room but I am up and walking around and taking a bunch of cat naps. I can't shower until tomorrow :( so I feel really greasy. I am living on the gas tablets and I finally broke down and took some milk of magnesia to try and get things moving again. I had developed a cough about a week before surgery and that has caused me some pain in my recovery. Nothing like coughing when your stomach is already sore. On the plus side, I am down 7lbs in about 2 days. I just can't wait to recover so I can be more excited about it. :)

      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.
