Thanks to both of you!! So glad I found this forum to learn the ins and outs and for the support.

By now you've learned that all we do is poop the first two weeks after that we can't poop any more without assistance,:)

The first weeks we question things like "did they take out enough of my stomach, cause I'm still hungry" :)

We all look for ways to get "permission" to eat things we can't. And when we don't do it we judge other people because we are hungry :)

Oh and about four weeks out we get grumpy.

And some of us run around here causing all sorts of trouble! :)

But we all want to succeed and we want others to succeed !!!

I wanted to be a hero and leave the hospital 1 day early.. But I stayed both days.. It's major surgery!! I guess I thought just because its laparoscopic it wouldn't be so bad! Morphine was my friend:)

in the hospital walk,walk, walk,

I didn't want to but it does help with the pain.

It wasn't pretty and I had a few moments like "what the hell did you get yourself into this time Laura?" But if I made it, so can you!!!

      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.
