I didn't have a button. I just told the nurse and she gave me my medicine through my iv. But the codeine they sent home is nasty. I took a pill yesterday. They are relatively small and I felt fine. I think it's feeling a little better. But it's just like when I had my gallbladder removed. The pain to get up and lie down is so excruciating. I used my pillow but Ouch

I'm 3 days post op and down 10lbs . I am pretty sore and tired very tired. I'm sipping and walking and trying for some Protein as well. I use the unflavored Syntrax to help with the protein amount and the whey protein fruit punch in my Water has 42 grams of protein. I can lay on my side pretty easily with a pillow, Which took much longer with the gallbladder surgery. I had hiatal hernia repair as well. Thanks for asking about me. Glad to hear how well you're doing that's awesome! What do you eat for Breakfast lunch dinner? Snacks?

      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.
