Hi All: Three nights in hospital, when I expected one or two. Lots of pain in stomach after swallowing. It is better now, and I am finally home! I am stressed out because work is being unsupportive, wondering why I didn't get this and that done before I left on leave.

I am in the "what the hell have I done?" phase.

Had my surgery Tuesday. Omg the gas pains. They were so horrible for me. I literally was like what did I just do to myself. But little by little I'm getting through it. This was my first ever surgery so I'm sure that played apart in my thinking. But doing so much better today.(Friday) feeling more energized, concentrating on getting more liquids in. Also I was scheduled for just a one night stay but my Dr kept me an extra day.

How is everyone doing? I am finally feeling a little better. I am struggling to get in the recommended 4 - 6 walks a day. I have built up to 3. I am used to walking my dog every day, so being winded is a little depressing. I am up to 3 per day, but I swear today to make 4! Losing 19 lbs so far is keeping me positive. My pants aren't any looser, however, because my stomach area is still bloated from being assaulted on the 10th!

      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.
