I was sleeved around 12:30 today and so far I am feeling good. Haven't used much pain medication. Only drawback is I can't sleep. Its 1:04 am and I'm wide awake!

You are probably just a little stressed. Read, watch TV or even better, maybe write in a notebook, maybe a journal .... you could be budding author!!! LOL :)

I had a miserable cough from the moment I woke up (sore throat due to the tube in throat during surgery which you don't even know they did cause you are asleep when they do it) and it lasted until I was home about a week. I used Ricola sugar free Lemon Mint Herb Throat Drops, very soothing, especially just as I was going to bed. :^)

I'm still taking my aceto+codeine at night because that is when I feel my most soreness. It also helps with the back pain I get sleeping on my back as I am usually a side sleeper. Good sleep is a priority for me as it helps with healing and the keeps you mentally healthy. I am going to ask about liquid Tylenol at the first check up next week.

liquids are going down pretty easy, no hunger, no nausea. I feel I am pretty lucky.

My Dr said Tylenol was OK, liquid ONLY and use caution w/ quantity of course. I couldn't get it done one day so I mixed it in some Raspberry Crystal Light and it helped alot.

Thanks Destiny. We have a WLS support group at the hospital I'm having it at so I'm looking forward to participating. I've come to the conclusion God has always been and will continue to be my support system.

Moka,

One of the great things about God is that He knows intimately how to walk alone down a road where he is beaten, ridiculed, and ashamed. He will NEVER EVER let you suffer alone.

I'm praying that you see Him coming from the people around you. Every whisper of encouragement, every kind touch, every nurturing presence is His love for you, His child.

he and I are well acquainted. I will be praying for you with everything I have. I have my surgery the same day you do. If you want someone to call, feel free to IM me for my number.

Yes but just barely four days post op and thanks. I was so scared and nervous leading up to it. Then it was all over in a blink of an eye with just soreness.

That's good to hear. I'm pretty nervous too but I can't wait to be on the other side!

      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.
