My surgery is 2 hours away. I would have driven myself there but then didn't know what LOL. I probably would have driven myself home LOL but clearly that's not safe. But once I get home, I am on my own with everything and my pain & health, thus why I am getting a ton done this week. You are not alone my friend!!!

I hope you have older ones in the bunch who can help. Years ago I had a fantasy of having 5 kids.

Feeling much better on day 2 and 3. Day 1 was tough. My morphine pump messed up throughout the night and stopped working so I was med-free for awhile and in a lot of pain. Once that was under control, I was doing better. Coughing hurts, but using a pillow and having one leg off the bed helps. Hope y'all are well.

Yes it is! Day 1 was hell all I wanted to do was sleep so I couldn't feel pain and that coughing was horrible. You feel like you need to throw up but all you are doing is dry heaving lol. The 2nd day wasn't too bad and today being my 3rd dayI I feel 89% better my stomach isnt too sore but still painful getting up and out of bed for walking or going to the bathroom. So happy you are going through everything at the same time! :)

I have not weighed myself. I'm still retaining so much Water so why look yet. Plus the scale is under the bed and i can not bend over drs orders, husband is at work and kids are at school so no way of reaching it. No pain just some soreness. :)

      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.
