Yeah. I'm home now just feeling miserable and wondering why I did this to myself. If in could get rid of the nausea and subsequent gas may not be so bad. Pain is bad but I can tolerate that, the nausea I can't

I got home on Saturday and slept so much better. Pain is better every day. I do exhausted very easily but I'm trying to get moving more and more. I have been dividing my Protein Shakes into 3 4oz servings which makes them more tolerable. I also got an abdominal binder which I love!

I have a binder I got from the hospital but the 2 times I have worn it seemed like it made my pain worse. Besides gas pains my main pain which has been bad is my right side. Any pressure on it seems to make it worse

Do u have the anti nausea medication? I have zofran and it helps a lot . Ask for some! And try to walk during the day around the house or in place to get the gas out. Feel 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.
