Well I thought I kept the Protein Shake down. 2.5 hours later it has reared it's ugly head. I hope it was just too thick to make it thru to the intestines and I'm not blocked. Ugh.

Not sure if my scale is working properly but it says that I've lost another 9lbs since yesterday morning. Is that even possible?!?!?

Had surgery on the 6th and Im completely kicking ass. Doing really well. I havent even taken any pain medication today. I am having some trouble getting all my Water and Protein in though. Im still pretty tired and cant sleep well because of the drain tube but Im doing really good. Im honestly quite shocked. I really thought that I was going to be laid up for weeks. Hope everyone else out there is doing well!!

Seems that a heating pad in the middle of my chest is helping the spasms and burping some. I also may be taking 4-6 long hot showers a day. One of the few things making me relax and feel better. I don't think I will make it back to work Thursday like I planned.

I'm up to around 40-45 a day and I just had my surgery last Wednesday. I just took my Prilosec so I have to wait a half hour before I have anything. I think I'm going to try some yogurt.

      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.
