Im one week out. Really pushed myself physically yesterday with shopping, putting up Christmas tree, housework, etc. Well, I really paid for it last night, waking up with soreness and pain in the belly area. So I guess when they say rest, they mean it! Don't push yourselves too hard - give your body time to heal. :)

I am 1.5 weeks out and I too overdid it. I felt like I could do whatever, but am definitely paying for it today. Rest is on the menu for today.

Tomorrow is 1 week out for me and went to the DMV to get my license renewed. Even though I sat most of the time waiting (2 hours). I was still wiped out . Listen to your body and rest when it needs you to .

I am one week out too, I almost went back to work today :blink: I decided to take days this week since I have been getting tired in the late afternoons. I started driving on Saturday and picked up my kids from school today. I have definitely given my fair share to the cyber sales since Friday! I have started putting up indoor decorations, but I know you can definitely go backwards really fast, so I am taking it slow. I go back to work on Thursday. I work at a school and get out for Christmas break on December 20 and will be off until January 7. I know it will be a very busy 3 weeks!

Today I was all Walmart shopping for 2 hours & felt tired after. Guess my body still getting used to this. Man, best choice I ever made. Beat luck to 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.
