I just had surgery and it was a hard five days. I tried not to take pain meds because I have never been a fan of medication. I also wanted to feel TUFF, when I did take the roxicet that they gave me I felt better. I'm tougher now with the roxicet because I am able to walk more. I also think that a lot of my discomfort came from the weather. It has been a heat wave and very humid, as soon as I got into an AC thanks to a friend letting me stay at her house, I felt much better. So I guess a word of advice if you have ur surgery and its really hot outside get yourself to an AC and it makes your healing much more bearable.

Long story short I live in tinley park but had a fire we were renting and landlord is dragging his feet with the rebuild. So we had to find a cheap place fast that would take my 2 Dobermans and 1 Rottweiler so we ended up in Gary Indiana. Temporarily I hope

Holy crap I grew up in Tinley/Orland. What a small world! I'm sorry about the fire. What Dr are you seeing? I'm going to Dr Joyce at the new Silver Cross. What High School did you go to?

      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.
