I'm going home today. I did not need the morphine but they did put toradol w the iv and that was great. On a scale my pain was about a a 4. However I started coughing and that hurt. I finally got my Jello and it took me about 40 minutes to finish it I feel bloated. I avoided the morphine because that stuff is too strong and I know it would have given me nausea. My pain was not as bad. Walked a little more and took gas-x strips. ChapStick is a MOST. Thank u all. Let's hope I do as well at home.

Well I'm at home now. I must say I wish they had kept me in the hospital one more day, I feel fine but in the hospital they are constantly checking on u so u know for sure u were OK and there's help if u need. I decided to sleep in the sofa I can't lay down flat on the bed because it would be hard to get up. ( I'm a single mom and by the time I wake up one of my kids to help me up if I have to go to the bathrooms lol) I'm afraid of getting dehidrated so I got my water bottle and a also diluted light white grape juice. The light grape diluted feels good going down. I noticed room temperature feels better going Down. I'm getting hiccups gotta find out if other people gets them and why so I can try avoiding getting them cuz it hurts. Pain is at a level 2 Only when I drink do I feel discomfort. Well that's it for now will I update tomorrow. Thanks everyone for their support. PS. Have not weighed myself since I'm bloated and still a little swollen but day of surgery I was 237. Nite nite

      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.
