I'm doing well. Stomach pain isn't too bad today. I'm able to move around more. I'm still sipping on crystal light and Water. I don't have an urge to drink or eat anything but SF popsicles. I can't wait until the gas pains subside. That's the worst of it all. I'm on Lortab for the pain and it really helps a lot, although it does put me to sleep. I appreciate your kind words and I'm wishing you all much success during your journey. I will keep you all posted;-) If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I was sleeved on the 23rd. I do feel sore when the loritab wears off. I have been taking it every 4 hours. I may need a refill. I have no appetite so broth and crystal light are working great. I am a little concerned that i am coughing up some junk. Hope things continue to get better.

Congrats on your surgery. Hope you have a great recovery too!

Chelle...that cough could be a side effect of the pain medicine...some people are sensitive to them. I am. If you call the doctor and report it, they might change it for you. I know coughing isn't fun, and then to have a cough and surgery is not at all fun to overcome.

Well I was just kicking a cold last week and now it seems like I may have relapsed. Watching for a fever. My son just went to get me a thermometer. Thank you for telling me about the possibility of pain meds causing 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.
