Today is post op day 4. I had surgery wednesday. Anywho. I am doing good. Passing gas. Walking. Showering myself. EXCEPT not getting enough liquids down to go home. And I want to go home to my daughters. I know that if I go home the way I am I will be back her next day from dehyration. Just need words of encouragement. Also how much can u drink before u cant drink nemore 30ml? Then goe long do u wait to try again? I have a routine. I nap, wake up drink a bit, toilet, breathing exercises, walk, drink a lil more then Im tired again.

I'm on day 6 and I have been home since day two. Day three I was home with my two kids alone.they are six and one. I truly think being home helped me recover faster. I moved around more and slowly I regained my strength and my ability to drink more. Today I drank my first Protein Shake. Day six is awesome! God bless and I hope u come home fast to them. But also this is for u..and later for them.

Well to be honest I just fake sips here and there...from day two to day five. I can't believe I was able to drink this shake this morning.I was so excited then I pretty much cleaned my whole house and took care of three little girls this morning. (My niece slept over).how ironic is that! I really hated being in the hospital..people were walking in n out all the time I never slept. So from start to now I started at 259 and today I am 235. This includes the two week prior. I lost 10 lbs since being home. So day by day sip by sip..

      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.
