@@dar81 I'm sorry! I literally slept the entire time after surgery. I have only been waking up to pee and to be honest it does hurt to get up and down. It's not that bad tho. Dr. Paragi finished my surgery in about an hour and a half! The only thing that's been really hard is how thirsty and dry my mouth is. Later at 6am I have a gastric emptying test to do to check for any leaks. I hope it goes well and that I get to go home today!

Thanks everyone. I got here about 530, got called back at 6, tried to get ic in twice, would not work. Just now had some pain meds other than Tylenol so I'm finally feeling good. Passion was pretty bag. I didn't think it would be. Anyway I am chemically altered and tea rambling.

It sounds like you are really high! I am so happy for you!

I am happy u got to rest and hope today's test goes smoothly for you! So excited for my procedure but this liquid diet just may kill me only on day four and man was my stomach growling all night! Tryin an new turkey broth today my fiancé found :) and I found if I use crushed ice in Protein drinks it feels like I'm eating a bit chewing on ice lol. Mind over matter. But hard very hard! So nervous about pain I've had several cysts removed gallbladder and appendix and I hear this is worse so I'm pretty scared yet anxious!

Get rest and ttys!!!!!

Ok maybe now I can type and make sense. Everything went well. Horrible pain yesterday and last night. Went on a few walks, feeling better, when yall refer to gas pains do you mean the pain kinda under the breast bone? That as been the worst for me. I should be going for leak test this morning and maybe get togo home this evening. Dry mouth and dry lips were the worst yesterday. I've had ice and a few popcicles. Anyway so thankful that everything went smoothly.

      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.
