Got sleeved the 29th and came home yesterday. Hard to get the Protein in, but doc said focus on Water first, so that's what I'm doing.

December 29th sleever here! So far all has been good. Doing my best to work with my body on getting rid of gas. I'm burping a lot which is another good sign. Walking a lot in my apartment since it's too cold to walk outside. I have not been nauseous at all since leaving the hospital. Just having good mental positivity has helped me the last three days.

I get gas immediately,

I'm having a horrible time with things. Trying to figure out this full feeling. But I can't take in anything but maybe two bites of sf Jello and a dip of water. I'm worried I'm gonna get dehydrated. Am I ever gonna be able to put more in?!

Day 5 and still fighting with the horrid gas and Nausea.. I can't drink the liquid pain medicine or the liquid Nausea medicine

I just can't get past the taste it makes me want to hurl. I sent a text yesterday to my Doctors nurse and my doctor called

me a short time later and called me in a prescription for a nausea medicine in a pill form...I am so grateful...I didn't want to bother him on New Years Day! I wish I would have asked him for a different pain medicine but I guess I'll just tough it out and use none. I plan on

trying to drink something I can add my prilosec too and maybe that will help also...This just has been a rough few days....

I'm right there with u. I can't take much in at all. It doesn't seem to matter how long I wait in between, it still makes me sick

Has anyone found anything to put their ground-up pills in to get them down? I've tried Applesauce, and also Cream of Wheat. The pills taste awful!

I used Unjury chicken Soup to mix pills in. I prepared it than removed about 1/2 and added pills, because

i knew there was no way I would be able to drink all of it and I didn't want to waste Medicines. Does anyone

know if we are getting enough liquid how long we can go with just a bit of Protein.< /p>

Is anyone planning on returning to work on Monday? My instructions say I could (I'm an Exec Asst so almost no physical activity) but I'm finding that I need 2 naps a day. I'm trying regular Tylenol today cut it in 1/2 to see if it's the extra good stuff in the liquid meds that not only makes me red and itch but makes me loopy and sleepy.

I haven't been able to do things like read or study yet. Still scatter brained.

      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.
