I had a open cut gastric on the 6th.. I tried this week to lay onmy stomach but it hurt so I got off quick, same with my side. So back to the recliner for a while.

I hav felt a lil hungry so I try crunchy like popsicles or Peanut Butter, or peaches or pears..

How do u feel cause i'm still weak n bout pass out if I stand to long. I still hurt but everyday gets better. I gotta get past the weakness to walk around more. Just a shower wipes me out.

Hope this helps u.

Yes i've stated vitamins. Oh I no the feeling about going crazy. I am very energetic n i'm sure not use to my husband n daughter doing as much, plus they don't do it like me, but i'm grateful. I caught then gone n vacuum, my mother in law caught me n fussed, because I about passed out. So i'm trying to take it slow. Today is first day I've got to hi back to church i've missed that, i'm in pain but at least i'm pushing out. U take care keep in touch.

I just brought peaches to make a peach Protein Shake. You've got me scarred now. I threw up for the first two days home so I don't want to experience that again.

Faith did your Dr. Give u nausea medicine? When I through up it was just from motion sickness and the medicine helped tremendously. That's what that had me use in the hospital to because I would dry heave when I moved around. I hope u feel better!

I don't think it was the peaches. Because i've been eating peaches for a while n I did fine. I think it was the oatmeal that had me blocked n I just piled fluids on top of it then the peaches n that's wen it decided to come up. I really believe it was oatmeal.

      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.
