Thanks guys. Well got it done Wednesday and I'm not one of the lucky ones to have no pain. It was crazy hard to roll off bed to go pee and then to get back in OMG. Today is a little better. My doctor came in to yell at me and said not to feels sorry for myself but to get out of bed and stay focused on why I did this. I almost cried. But ya he has a point. I'm up and walking and trying to drink. My stomach feels like it spasms every time I drink anything am I doing it wrong ?

You are probably hitting the absolute worst part of recovery right now. Get out and walk. It makes a world of difference. As far your stomach goes, it's probably very swollen and needs some time to heal. Try crystal light if Water is hard. Things will get better with everyday that passes.

      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.
