Sitting here in the hospital bed I feel good. The nausea meds really work and I'm having some mild pain. Pain killers make me nauseous though. When I first awoke it was terrifying I had no clue what was happening and I was in pain, but after I got through it all was fine. I hate the catheter, I'm just peeing and not realizing it. when I walk I can feel it hanging and it freaks me out. My throat is sore also, but aside from the little things its not that bad. I had a nightmare the night before that doctors cut into my stomach and spiders came out, so when the time came I was freaking out. I'm so proud I got through it. After all these stressful months it finally came. So far worth it.

      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.
