4 days post op and I'm "almost" 100% ok. My tummy is a little sore 1/2 from surgery and 1/2 from my period. Slept with a heating pad last night and it improved things tremendously.

I'm not taking liquid vicodine like most. That made me sick to my stomach so they gave my tablets of Nophen. I've been taking 2 but starting today I'm bring it down to one.

My incissions are looking awesome. I get my staples out on Thursday.

The only thing I can't do is twist my body because I'll feel it in my stomach... Like a tight soreness. But only if I do this.

How's everyone else doing ??

Oh wow... They sent you home with a pain patch. I wonder what medication it was. I would have loved a pain patch instead of pills. Sorry to hear it made you sick.

It was a three day pain patch. And it was taken off of me on Saturday morning and it still isn't out of my system.

      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.
