I am surprised they don't give you enough pain medication to keep you comfortable. Having the pain under control has a big factor on the healing process. When they ask you to rate your pain make sure you rate it high, don't let them think that you are only in a little pain. Also when they get your pain under control make sure you stay on top of the pain, ask for something when you start to feel uncomfortable. Don't wait until the pain gets worse. Hope they get your pain under control and you start to feel better, try to get some rest.

I didn't even want to look at my cell on first day lol let alone post in the forums. Like someone said my surgeon made clear it's all about pain and nausea control. They were really nice on constant rotations with meds, vitals, etc. I slept almost entire time my gf stayed with me watching tv, I barely spoke to her only waking up when nurses checked on me.

In other words ring that bell/button in your bed right now and say it hurts like an 7+ someone should arrive quick.

I'm home now.., not much pain right now. I have a lot of gas and pressure. Gas X chewable not help much.

      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.
