Thank you. How are you feeling? Your a few days post op right?

I'm 3 days postop and I feel really good. Just trying to get my fluids in which is a bit of a challenge. The first maybe 24-36 hours I was having nausea, but I had none yesterday. Every sip I take, I get grumble guts (that's what I'm calling it). Just a lot of noise your body makes when you drink. Today I go back to the doctor to get my drain removed :( and have a leak test. I put a sad face because even though the drain is slightly uncomfortable, that's my safety net that everything's ok in there because I can see the Fluid in the drain is a good color. I know- I'm the only crazy one who wants to keep the drain in longer!

I'm a side sleeper too and I found that for the first few days if I rolled a spare duvet up on my right side and kind of rested on that, it was the most comfortable way of sleeping. If you don't have a spare duvet a pillow or two may work the same. Had my first full night's sleep last night and it was wonderful!

I'm just doing what my NUT told me

shakes throughout the day' date=' unlimited leafy greens (lettuce, kale, broccoli), calorie free dressing, and Water. I'm also drinking Isopure zero carb Protein drinks. I'm sure it will probably slow down as I keep going.

Do you get any cramps from the Isopure Protein Drinks? Certain flavors have done that to me. My stomach would cramp so bad that I would have to go to the bathroom. Just curious if it has happened to you! What flavors have you tried and liked?

      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.
