Me too!! I'm at my hotel. I can here other stirring in other rooms as well. I went downstairs for a razor @ 4am and walked around a bit. Still not very nervous, just annoyed that i left my Vicks at home!! I can't function without that stuff. I didn't see it at the store when I went last night (I'm in Mexico). I hope all goes well for everyone!!sending nothing but good vibes into the universe for all :)

I'm getting discharged at noon today. Feeling good. No nausea at all. Loving the sugar free Popsicles!!!

I got up to walk every 2.5 hours...it helped the pain go away.

Hope you are all doing awesome!

Lucky you! That's all I've been is nauseous off and on. It's making me not want to drink but I know I have to

I was discharged yesterday evening around 5pm. They were debating keeping me another night because I wasn't tolerating all my fluids and def not getting in enough Protein. I pushed as much as I could and got enough in that they were comfortable sending me home. Still struggling today, but I have more options here on what to eat/drink. They kept sending these horrible smelling broths for meals and Jello. I just couldn't do it. I have only had one bout of nausea, but I have had too much pain to want to eat anything. Today is better with a little less pain as well. Hopefully each day will get better.

      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.
