Thank you! My surgery went very well and I actually came home the evening after on 6/19th which was a pleasant surprise. Have you had your surgery already?

I had mine on the 21st. Was dismissed by the doctor early in the morning but didn't get out of there until 3:00pm. It was Saturday and the hospital had just switched to a new computer system that week so I feel like that was why. I had great care and I am feeling great. How are you getting along? Any troubles?

I'm doing okay. I thought being a 8 days out I would feel even better, but unfortunately I am struggling with muscle spasms which my doctor has me on flexeril for. Also having trouble staying hydrated due to frequent episodes of diarrhea after I eat or drink

Anything. I'm sorry if that's too much info for you. How are you?

I am doing really good. I went to the massage therapist yesterday because I had gotten a knot in my neck from the hospital bed and sleeping in the recliner the first night home. She had a chair I got on so it didn't put any pressure on my stomach and it was heavenly. I recommend it especially if you were going before and the massage therapist knows what is going on with you. I swear it also helped get rid of the last of my gas pains too. Hope you get to feeling better.

I keep reading about everyone being constipated and like you I am having diarrhea. Don't know if they are talking about a different stage than we are in but I am NOT constipated.

      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.
