Yesterday I had lots of pain didn't know if I can handle the pain. I got up and walked as much as I could. I couldn't even talk on the phone that's how much pain I had. I woke up today no pain yet I hope it stays this way

As nasty as it sounds is prolly gas pain you have to fart it out I think that's what caused my pain ever since I left the emergency room Sunday that's what I been doing LOL but hey is doing the job and I've had minor pain nothing my percosets haven't took away well hopefully soon all this will start paying off

Yes thankfully today is better then yesterday. They said I will be discharged by 1 or 2 o'clock. I'm a little nervous going home I don't want to go back to the pain I was in yesterday. The doctor prescribed me Tylenol with codeine hopefully that does the job.

      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.
