Laying in the cubicle waiting for everything to get started. My body looks like a colored road map. Black line bottom cut, green line top cut, blue lines vertical guide lines.

Day 4-Actually feeling pretty good this morning. Didn't think I needed a pain pill butttook one anyway, just to be safe. I actually picked up something I dropped this morning, that was a major feat. I had to readjust my binder, I cant believe how flat my belly is and my my belly button is not winking at me!

I HATE drain tubes. 4 in the pubis area. Last night I dropped one- needless to say the neighbors got an ear full. Maybe he'll take them out soon!

Ask nurses for a safety pin. They should have pin it to your gown so that would not happen.

      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.
