Little scared now I just had surgery and I'm back home wish I would say it easy but it's not I'm glad I have family support but I just can't wait not to be in pain anymore. It's just hurts and no one could help me with the pain.

I know I should be better in 1 week but it feels so far away.

I know the feeling. Drink any diet drink except soda. You know what I was thinking of going to the dollar store& buying the tray to make Popsicle. Like my own diet snapple ect.. I'm sure it will taste good.

The reason I felt discomfort was because I tugged on one of my incisions after a sneezed, but now finally I'm ok, I feel about 90% good.. =0)

      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.
