One major bummer about staying another day - I'm more out of my mind! I don't have anyone with me and I'm sharing a room with an elderly woman who doesn't have control over her loose bowels ????

I'm starting to walk now but I can still barely get in any Water. There's no way they'll let me leave drinking this little so I need to get my butt in gear. Easier said than done.

@@della street you are running circles around me! Glad you feel so great! I just spoke with my doc's team and it looks like they're letting me leave today! I can't spend anymore time in this joint - the beds, the smells, the sound effects! I'm feeling ok, with some gas pain - but I'm doing some walking to help. My incisions (5) hurt but it's more annoying sore. I still have to up my liquids. How is everyone else doing?

Pain is much more controlled today and nausea not too bad.

Very difficult getting all my fluids in when all I want to do is sleep. But in trying!!

Wahoo @@della street! What about you @@joleno? It's so helpful to know other people going through the same things - even if we did get different procedures done! I'm currently using a smart Water squeeze bottle and I'm legit just letting it dribble into my mouth. It's not much at a time but it's doing 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.
