Fantastic, Mimismom today you just have to wait for the leak test, keep walking around get that body moving, hopefully they will bring you some Water to drink to get your mouth wet. The dry mouth was the worst part for me. When you get home set yourself up with some type of protien drink and some gatorade or Powerade and sip sip sip all day long. You can have and 1 ounce every 15 minutes. So slow and steady wins the race. I had two rocks glasses filled with my cytomax (40 grams of protien) and the other filled with powerade and dipped little plastic Jello shot cups in them and sipped all day long. I had a little nausea but the prescription pill handled that mainly at night. One of the pills kinda knocked me out and I would take that one at bed time the other one was a 4 hour pill and I took that one during the day.

Get some rest but dont forget to walk around every 2 hours get that blood moving. YOu will do great.

you will start losing. Remember to get up and move around the house. Do you still have your drain in or did he take it out yet. Dont look when they pull it out. That will aleviate some of the pain. Take your pain med at night if you need it to help you sleep. Remember to sip sip sip all day.

Thanks Jafter! They took the drain out for me on Friday and that was DISGUSTING. I looked but it didn't hurt it felt like it should be accompanied by some sort of ridiculous animated cartoon sound. Lol I don't know if that makes sense.

It's so good seeing that everyone is doing great! Congratulations to Mimismom and Sparky on your surgeries! The first week is the hardest part, then you've got it!

I'd be interested in exchanging recipes or whatnot that you guys have found yummy. I'm still drinking 60-70 grams of Protein through shakes and milk since we're still settling into our new apartment and getting the hang of things. Good luck, everyone!!

      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.
