You're not even a week out. I felt like poo that first week. Pain meds were my friends.

*always call your surgeon if it seems unreasonable or "different"*

Take your meds ,right now THEY are your best friend at this point and time,Believe me I resisted I thought the worse but talked to Dr. And pain on left side was due to the work he did.if its air, walk walk walk you'll find some comfort.i read in the booklet my Dr. gave me that some patients can't tolerate plain Water,so mix a little crystal light or some other drink mix into it,I personally found that if I freeze the bottled Water slightly I can drink more of it ,thus getting my required amount. Please please take the meds and get some much needed relief . Hope you sleep well.

      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.
