Hey Everyone,

So I am NOW HOME from the hospital!!! So happy to be back home. My goal (doctor's request) is to drink 32oz of liquids a day. OMG, not easy. I've been sipping since i got home. I've also taking some pain meds because i did a lot of walking today (from hospital bed to car right outside the hospital). According to my doctors that's a lot :mellow:.

Right now i'm in the bed relaxing and sipping. If anyone have any question, please let me know. :D W

We are all in this together!!!!!

Since I'm new here, how do we see people's pictures? How's your pain? Do you find it hard to fit all your liquids in?

In the hospital I was on morphine and I could only press the button every 20 mins which felt like hours when in pain. The first day was the hardest. I couldn't even think. To this second all I can remember is pain all day Monday. Now I'm on Oxycodone which has help alot since being home.

To see the pic you have to go to my profile and click on gallery. Just click on my pic and it should take you to my profile.

Pain is not so bad now, but I'm still taking pain meds when i feel pain coming on.

YES, i find it very hard to get my liquids in. I couldn't drink 16oz of liquids while in the hospital so to double that is harder. But I've been telling myself to sip sip sip.

      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.
