Thanks for responding! I do have pain meds and I took a shower yesterday!

I also had my first post-op bowel movement today and that seemed to help a bit! Walking does help but it's been rainy and there's not much space to walk around in my house! Thanks for answering!

I stopped taking my pain meds, they were making me soon sick. I have been able to take Tylenol, ground up (tastes nasty) I have ordered some liquid acetaminophen. It has managed to keep my pain at bay. Hope that you feel better soon.

When was your surgery?

Mine was Monday and they said if I hadn't had any inkling of having one Thursday (today) at noon I should medicate with Miralax to have results by Friday.

I had results today on its own, though!

Mine was Monday too. But I'm wondering if it's also due to pain meds I'm on. I have previous pain from neck back leg and feet. So I'm in morphine sulfer. Norco gabapentin and cymbalta. I took a colace 100mg today

Woke up in quite a bit of pain today because I slept in my bed ALL night long and have only been able to do that for part of the night, but that quickly melted away when I realized I finally joined the losers bench today. I am 2 pounds lighter than my hospital admission weight and I am so excited I can't seem to contain it!

      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.
