4 weeks and 4 days. Apparently that's to be magic #! Last night my baby girl and I figured out a way for me to get in the pool without hurting myself. I just lounged in the Water for about an hour and a half. It was so lovely. When I got out all my muscle pains were gone. No sharp pains in my abdomen. No intense soreness in my back. It was heaven. I was cautiously optimistic since I swam in a friends pool 2 weeks prior and though it took away the pain for that moment the pains returned within an hour or two. But I laid on my stomach/side last night. Oh sweet comfort! sleeping on my back for a month was misery:) I didn't take any pain meds muscle relaxers. Downside to that is my body is so used to being knocked out that I think I slept 15 min of every hour and I'm exhausted this morning. I "got up" this morning and still no pain. I am sitting up straight, able to bend over and not calling for help to getty shorts on;) Could it Be? Could the pain finally be gone? My mind says try and drive today. But then I think don't push it:) But for now I'm just going to enjoy not hurting and hope it lasts!

That's awesome! You should definitely plan on returning to the pool as a preventative. Sometimes forcing yourself to relax like that is enough to loosen those tight muscles.

      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.
