Thank you everyone yesterday was tough. I wanted to cry. I remember going into the operating room and they put the mask on me and I just kep yelling I can't breathe!!! Then promptly spit up something then next thing I know im in the recovery bay yelling help me lol. Crazy. Got some sleep' date=' walked, got a few coughs and burps out. My dad felt it was a good idea to bring chili cheese frites to my room to eat.... My mom gave him the ultimate death glare lol so he ate in the mini living room. Feeling better today doesn't hurt as much to get up and use the restroom like it did yesterday. I loathe the breathing treatments but it's really important I do it. I'll keep everyone posted, back to bed I go!

I think I go home tomorrow or Friday. I'm not a happy camper right now. Everytime I try to sleep someone is coming in to mess with me. Then I finally fall asleep and it was time for a bath and walking. I'm so frustrated.

Pain isn't so bad, they took me off morphine and upgraded me to the elixir which last longer. Only pain I have is the gas pain, trying to get rid of that by walking though. Other than that I'm doing ok.

Pain up until now has been about a 3-6 It's not like a oh god this sucks kind of pain. It's more of a I'm uncomfortable please give me something type pain and it clears up. Im not gonna lie, first day i was like WHY?!? I was just so uncomfortable but second day my mom and nurse said i looked a lot better.Thank you everyone for the support. And liberated yes David is my night nurse, he's a talker but a very nice man. He brings me the goods when I need more lol. They are sending me home with a prescription for the elixir so I'm happy about that.

      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.
