I feel great. So far the day after was the toughest. In the hospital hit the pain pump when they ask you to get up. Bring 2 pillows also chapstick. When you home sip sip sip and concentrate on staying hydrated. It gets easier every day after surgery. The pre op diet was the worst part of the whole process for me. :-)

You know, believe it or not, I didn't have a morphine pump thingie, I was getting some good ish via IV, idk what it was but whenever I said pain, they hooked that bag up and I was out. It lasted about 4 hours at a time.

I'm hoping my recovery is that easy. I'll make a note to bring those items with me. I find out tomorrow what time I have to be there.

      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.
