Still at hospital, low grade fever last night. Zofran has helped manage the nausea, norco for pain. Tastes bad. The worst is the every 8 hour heparin shots to keep from getting blood clots. Feels like they are injecting my arm with fire ants.

Over all pain is getting better, body has released some of the air they inflate you with. Still hurts when I drink. Going very slowly. Still in the wtf did I do this for stage.

They have me measure out my fluids in little 2tbs cups, looks like I'm going rounds of shots, except the have me sip on one wait 15mins and then do the next

I know the feeling hun my surgery is scheduled Monday too and I have two kids.. he wasn't "killing you off" just trying to comfort you.. it just didn't come out as hoped unfortunately remember he's vine of the reasons you have decided to do this.. and God willing, will bring just the opposite result..because of this surgery our biggest hope is to be there ever longer right along side of our little ones and keeps with them. So just give him a big hug and thank God you have such a wonderful reason to fight for a healthier you!

Well came home Wednesday around 4pm. I'm still wicked sore, extreme pain on my right side. Can not wait for it to go away, sons excited to have me home but bummed he can't curl up in my lap.

sleeping in recliner, figured it was easier than rolling in and out of bed. Down side is our giant cat who missed me too wanting to lay on me.

      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.
