You can get it in any grocery store. I usually pack up on the 6 pack from Walmart and consider one of those my Water intake for the day.

Smart Water is really good for you! Expensive but good. It's like gatorade (electrolytes) but without everything else you don't need!

Mimismom, I got mine from the nurses at the hospital but I am sure you could find one at any medical supply store, like at a Hospital or Doctor's clinic or even Walgreens/CVS or possibly pharmacy area at Walmart. It helped me so much for the first two weeks! I am now just over three weeks out. My best to you!

This is exactly what I'm dealing with. Mine is on the right side and is the only thing that hurts. I got sent home with liquid vicodin which didn't touch the pain and ended up going to e.r. and got a shot of morphine and toradol. Worked for about an hour then back to the pain. E.r. doc sent me home with liquid percocet and it doesn't touch the pain either. So I have just been suffering. I will try the heating pad since I saw that helped some people. Hope we get through this soon!

      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.
