How is it going Enuff and lovietobeme?

I am doing really good I just got out the hospital yesterday. "Yay" I am still having a hard time breathing and I have to take blood thinners and go to my PCP every week for the next 6 months. I am just really starting to have to drink on my own and it's really hard but I know I don't want to go back for dehydration!

Ok surgery last evening 8-9. Went well I've been up walking 4 times now and am just going for my shower then another walk. Gas pain is real, so walk. But all in nothing you can't handle.

Day 3 when they say walk they mean it. I've kept my pain in check by walking. But it's still hurts some. Leak test today and if its all good hotel for one night then home. I keep knocking my IV out they are really good at putting them in but they don't tape them enough. Not hungry that's a plus. Had ice chips yesterday.

      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.
