prettybird & Alberta- walking is the best but damn I hated doing it! I'm also craving food- I know it's just my head but I'd seriously consider compromising my ethics for a grilled cheese! LOL! I've got 14 days of full liquids then mushy foods- it'll be a while before I get solid stuff!

Sleeved on the 8th. Came home yesterday evening. GI system is fully awake tonight, good burping helping with gas pains, which are not too bad. Soreness is better, trying to move frequently. Anxious to see how week goes! Good luck everyone!

Oh yeah. I'm wiped out when I least expect it.

And YES! OMG the fast food commercials! The new pizza Hut sliders! Are you kidding me? They play that darn thing all the time.

One more thing- my heating pad has helped with the gas pain too! It's my new BFF!

Yes gel! I just went through what I can only describe as a "hot flash". I got all hot and woozy and felt like everything for darker. I immediately got in my recliner in front of a fan but **** now I'm too exhausted to even text. My shoulders hurt. Hubby just brought me a Popsicle.

Hi everyone,

I'm an April sleever but worried about doing stairs when I get home. We have a lot of them so I thought I'd ask, are you guys able to get up and down stairs ok? Stairs were TOUGH after my c section. I know this is totally different though. I wish you all the best, quick healing, excellent results and minimum pain!!

      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.
