I can't believe tomorrow is day 5 post op already. Started full liquids today...felt really good to have soup! But you know what tasted wonderful to me? V8 juice.< /p>

I know this isn't exactly on topic, but I feel the need to share my "coming home from the hospital" story. I finally left at about 7:30 pm on Tues. Got to my condo at about 8. So, my neighbor had kindly offered to carry my suitcase upstairs, as well as my mom's oxygen tank (she drove up from VA to be with me in hosp & to help me for the first week after. But she has COPD, hence the O2 tank). As my neighbor & I were on the stairs, I hear this crack & thud outside....I hobbled outside, & there was my mom, on the sidewalk, flat on her back, leaving a puddle of blood under her head. Well, after I called 911 and saw that she was conscious, we spent the next 4 hours in the ER. 8 stitches and lots of bruises later, but thankfully nothing broken or a concussion, we made it back home. I'm glad I've been feeling ok, 'cause I've been taking care of her more than the reverse. WTF!!! Just needed to get that off my chest.

Wow, that's heavy. Thank God she is good. Taking care of her takes your mind off your pain. So that's really good.

I'm good too y'all. It's day 2 for me. Bo real pain. Well cause I'm taking pain meds as prescribed. I am also taking pills for nausea, cause I don't want that in my life. They say that the hiccup and all cause it. I do need that one at all.

I'm in a great mood. Not doing too much cleaning of anything, just relaxing. Drinking Protein and Water.

Made it to my hometown. My surgery is in the city about an hour away. 3 more sleeps! My mom hasn't seen me in about 3 weeks and says I look different already...I guess I can thank my month long Water and Glucerna pre-op meal plan.

      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.
