My mom is on my case to try to go to work today so I don't lose the holiday pay. Trust me. I don't want to lose double time a d a half - but the pain is unbearable. The roxicet has started making me nauseated so I have only been taking it at night and I'm trying extra strength Tylenol to get thru the day. I guess I'll be putting a call in to the doctor again tomorrow about pain management. This is awful.

I pray you get better soon! Do not push yourself. Yeah time and a half would be great but if you are in pain you might not even last the day. You need to rest and heal. There are always other holidays I'm sure you can get the time and a half. Please take care of yourself and hopefully you will be back to feeling better quickly!

This pain really is just awful. It isn't the soreness I had with the first surgery. All of this pain is inside. Moving, breathing deeply, getting up and down from sitting or laying - it's all excruciating. Because my case wasn't normal my doctor has nothing to compare it to. I don't want anything but ice Water. Nothing else tastes right. Tried Protein and it turned my stomach. I could only stand up long enough in the shower to wash my hair and my face. Bummer because long hot showers were my savior after my first surgery.

Kristlynngirl - I'm so sorry you are still in so much pain. I'm sure you are aware, but do not let too much time elapse between taking your pain meds. It will get better. Take it easy and get plenty of rest. I will continue to pray for you and a speedy recovery. It gets better...hang in there.

I'm really wondering if any part of this was the right decision. I'm still in so much pain. My surgeons office is closed til Monday. I called my pcp but they won't do anything without the surgeon. Why'd I have to be the worst case he's seen in 14 years? I wouldn't wish this on everyone. I'm so full of regret right now.

Went to the ER. Blood work and X-rays normal. Discharged after some dilaudid and IV fluids. Given a prescription for zofran so I can tolerate the pain meds.

So sorry you're having so many problems.

The taste of the roxicet is making me gag even with the zofran. Just revisited my Greek yogurt strawberry smoothie as soon as the roxicet hit my throat. All over my shirt, glasses, toilet, bathroom rug, ugh.

      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.
