Yes I was on soft foods, such as eggs and cheese. My doc put me on them bf I even left the hospital. But onviously I couldnt down them very well. When dehydrated I had a dry mouth/lips, dark urine, disoriented, no energy, dizzy, lightheaded, faint, headaches. Im sure there was more I just cant think right now. They are also going to keep me tonight. Yay :( not! I just feel so sick and tired. I havent ate in 4days. They did give me a bag of a multi vitamen iv.... But is that good enough. And I do want to eat but im scared to, because of the pain.

I understand your not wanting to go to the hospital but you NEED to go asap. You're having the same symptoms I had with a leak. Please keep us posted, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Pevette, I contacted my Dr office on Friday I am in a lot of pain on my left side. I had surgery June 19th and have not felt pain like this even after surgery. I feel as though my stomach is on fire on the inside. When I move, cough, laugh, or even some of the slightest moves make me want to cry. I have not run fever, had a leak, or even had any smell come from any of my wounds. However, one of my incisions is red around it then the other. My stomach is also warmer there than anywhere else. My Dr asked me for a picture and said that it is an infection, he called me in an antibotic and I have to take it every 4 hours until my pills are gone. Don't hesitate to call the dr go to the er or clinic. An infection is not something to play around with for any of us. I have been on the antibotics since Friday afternoon and I'm still in a tremendous amount of pain.

      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.
