I had mine on the 30th and should be getting out of here today!! I can't wait. I some dull pain in my left side and it hurts when I take a deep breath but I'm refusing my pain meds. They taste terrible & it makes me gag which is worse than the pain I have.

Hear you on the breathing pain. My surgeon said walking will def help as you need to breathe deeper when exercising.

Meds are gross but serve their purpose but when you get home you can take another soluble pain med.

My deep breathing is a lot better now. I've almost got all of the gas out but I can still fill it bubbling. Lol. When I picked up all my medicine I had the pharmacist put a flavor in it, it's still nasty but nothing like before!!

I hope you are doing well. I got to come home today.

Ok friends ...I need to vent a minute. My pouch is finicky. Only getting 40-60g of Protein. Some days less. Not enjoying Protein Shakes. They make me want to hurl. Anyone ever go to a whole food place and see what they have for protein? I'm desperate. My creatinine is low and that can indicate a protein deficiency. Aaarruuggggh!

      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.
