OK, @@baylorbears281, have it your way. I don't feel sorry for you.

If you really had a negative experience, why don't you tell us more about it? In enough detail that it might be helpful for the other people who are looking for guidance and support? Your little shout about hurts like he**, and your snarky replies dont help anyone.

Recovery is going very well for me. One thing I would suggest is using lots of pillows to kind of tuck around your sides to help support your belly in bed. I'm a side sleeper and is very difficult. My sister brought two squeeshy pillows with the little beads in them. They are wonderful because they kind mold to you.

Get your fluids in and walk, walk, walk.

      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.
