Doing pretty good. Some pain but am getting pain meds as often as I can. Walking pretty good. Can't have liquids until I have an upper gi in the morning to check for leaks. Dry mouth is killing me but I'm managing. My 18 yr old daughter is staying with me tonight and she is taking awesome care of me!!

Dr said I have to drink 4 of those 1oz cups of Water in an hour... dis that now working in my Protein. If I can finish them I can go hone tonight. Found out that cold drinks cramp my sleeve. :(

She did fine. She napped in recovery but otherwise you would have never known she had surgery. She was a little sore this AM, but this evening seemed fine. Glad to see others are home and recovering well. 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.
