Came home from the hospital this morning. Doing fairly well with fluids and pain. Had some problems yesterday with dry heaving and hiccups but I am having a much easier time today. When everyone said with each day it gets easier hey were not kidding. Ready to move onto soft foods that's for sure

Amen about the pain= no joke. Walking is the only thing that has helped me so far. Right now my guts sound like a cave full of angry bears lol. I felt a lot better today, but still sore and having those stomach spasms or whatever that hideous cramp pain is. I am SO GLAD i took this week off work. So glad.

How is everyone doing???

I am well, no pain, nausea, etc. I really feel normal, except that I can't eat. I'm dealing with head hunger, but working towards a better me is winning.

I feel great - what a difference a week makes! I'm doing well with liquids, etc. The gurgling takes a little getting used to. I sleep with my head elevated a bit and try not to drink anything for at least 1/2 hour before going to bed. I start full liquids today and have had no problems with nausea, vomiting, etc. So far, so good!

Full liquids on my plan are strained cream or pureed Soups (no chunks), runny cream of wheat, unsweetened applesauce (not chunky), smooth, low-fat yogurt, sugar free pudding.

I was able to start Protein shakes on the 28th and have been able to get 2 of them down each day (I use the pre-made Premier Protein Shakes from costco and put lots of ice in them - so I've been getting at least 60g Protein a day, which is probably why I feel so good).

Only problem for me is I am not sleeping well. Boredom is high. Had Tomato juice today. That was a awesome experience. March 25 was my life change and I am already fitting into shirts that didn't quite fit a few weeks ago. Already planning a shopping trip.

I am a hour from hospital. My follow up is tomorrow and spouse has to work. So no meds. I'm not in pain at all so don't really need any thing. But I am going to have to knock myself out some time. I hate late night tv. Thank goodness for Netflix.

      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.
