That's awful. No education at all? I had to pay 150 for a class before surgery that went over everything!

Is any one else feeling fatigued after what seems like slight exertion. I have had to take a nap everyday. I go to sleep at night at a reasonable hour. I get up at 8 am most mornings. I am 2 weeks post op. I figured by now I would be over taking naps.

I feel the same way I will be 2 weeks post op on Friday.... Somedays a shower kicks my butt! Somedays I can clean and run and do all the normal stuff. Today was a doctor visit and home to nap! Doctor said its normal but they did so some blood work. Hope we wake soon!:)

Well it's my first day back to work. I've been here two hours now and doing pretty well. Kind of tired but overall ok. My coworkers acted like nothing had happened. Didn't ask a single question and they're all well aware of what I was having done. Some people are so rude. One of them keeps talking about her 8 lb weight loss in the last 4 days. I don't acknowledge them when they act like that to me. I went to the Mall of America on Sunday and did really good but we took lots of sitting breaks all day. I'm feeling good. Hope you all are also.

I'm no expert- but I think pickle juice might have too much sodium in it?

Is a straw bad??

Ok now you are getting desperate! Lol I'm not sure but my mind goes a little crazy like that too. I eat apple sauce too. If I get board with it I warm it up and put a splash of cinnamon.

They posted a large sign on my hospital door that said No Caffine, No Sugar, No Straws, & 1 other thing but I can't remember what it was.

      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.
