Today is day 10 post op and I'm feeling well, davidncara@sbcglobal.net How are you feeling? I drove yesterday for the first time and yes, walking has helped tremendously. I am really struggling to get in all the Water and Protein. Up to 40 oz water and 30g protein.

I am struggling to get any Protein at this point. I'm sick of all of the current choices of protein. I tried to eat blended Soup last night and I came to the conclusion that I must be still swollen inside. This is day 7 post op. I feel lots better today. I'm still not sleeping through the night. Up every 2-3 hrs. Wish I could sleep on my side! I can't wait for that one sore side to go away! I go back to work tomorrow. EEK!

I'm a stay at home mom but substitute at our high school where our son goes. I work all this week in the attendance office. Did pretty good today, kept sipping so kept up on Fluid intake okay. Ready to rest for the evening now.

It was tough at first. I had to review all day and could NOT sit comfortably without a lean that looks TOTALLY unprofessional! Lol. I sipped all day. I can't stomach anymore Protein shakes! Yuck! I came home and had some Soup. I feel great now, all stretched out in bed! Lol. I had a hard time reaching for things on my table too. But I know the walking up and down the halls was beneficial. I CANT wait for this large incision to heal! 8 more days until summer!

I am in arlington.. Where are you?

Did I mention that I was a teacher?

Oh my gosh! I'm in Arlington too! We live near Ditto Elem (our kids went there). Our daughter goes to Young Jr High and our son is a freshman at Martin where I'm subbing all this week. Such a small world! I was at USMD with Dr Lyons.

It is AISD, and it is over by cravens park, by ferguson jh. I FINALLY slept through the night! First time in 8 days! Now, if only the next 3 days would fly by!

      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.
