People ... I need ideas.... I had sx Monday March 9th in TJ Mx.... love dr. Vazquez and gang... only pain was PCOS related... tonight I sit in my hotel room unable to sleep because I can't stop weezing and coughing... my hubby, bless her walked to the pharmacia and bought an albuterol inhaler... no I am not asthmatic... then we called the dra. And she had a Mexican musenex delivered to the room ... it has helped me to breath better but I can't lay down and sleep ... hot green tea soothes it for a min... so does ice chips ... but this girl needs sleep AND has an 8 hour + flight home on Friday. ... any ideas?

If you are in that much pain i would say call your surgeon or go to the ER.

Can you add lemon to it, or do crystal light? Make sure you stay hydrated.

      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.
