Thanks for asking' date=' Mel! I'm really doing very well. I was able to stop taking my pain meds yesterday. I still have a tiny amount of abdominal discomfort, but it's very manageable. I am struggling with the clear liquid diet though. I am so sick of broth!!! And I have another week to go on clears unfortunately. I have no trouble drinking my 64 oz. daily though.[/quote']

I'm having a easier time getting that Fluid down on post op day 4. :)

Hey everyone' date=' day 2 after surgery. I'm waiting to see the doctor to see if I can go home today[/quote']

The cath came out after the first day and they just took the I'VE out. I feel good, no pain today. I've never had any surgery before and I have to say I don't remember anything! I've been eating the Jello, drinking herbal tea and lots of Water. They are trying to keep me hydrated.

Ready to go home!

I've been home since Thursday and still feel like crap. I can hardly stand up straight. My staples are itching bad. I have constant gas rumbling but won't come out. I have a spot in between external incisions that is excruciating when I get up and down. But since this whole process started since pre-op to today I've lost 22lbs!

      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.
