If you are not into purees yet, you should be soon. Once I got to soft foods, I started to feel better. I did not really get any energy until I was eating regular cooked foods at 4 1/2 weeks, Pain meds made me sick to my stomach. Once I stopped those and other post-op meds, the nausea got better. Did you get a prescription for the Scolomine Patches that you stick behind your ear? They were a big help for me. I hope you feel better soon.

Luckily I am retired. I just cannot imagine having to go back to work or taking care of small children post-op. I have a lot of respect for those who had to.

I guess it depends on the kind of work you do. If you drove a Google Earth Satellite van around, I guess you could go back in a few days, but if you are a hotel housekeeper or construction worker, you certanly would have to recover longer. Maybe some others here can help you with that question.

      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?

      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.
