@natashS. Just got home from hospital a couple hours ago. First two days were rough and second guessed my decision. I feel better now that I'm home. Just focusing on getting fluids in. Gas pains and one of my incisions are the only things bothersome. I will get back on here in a couple days. Thanks. How is everyone else?

I had a really rough few days too. I just wanted to come home. I was tired of being with an iv and being injected. My hand was so swollen. The gas pains were excruciating. Something I would never wish on my worse enemy. I'm feeling better today thank the good Lord.

And i too was regretting my decision. I cried and cried from the pain. And no pain med were really working for a long period of time.

@natashaS. So glad you are feeling better too. I'm glad that I read others experiences on here. It's what kept me going knowing what I was feeling was nothing abnormal and to keep pushing through it. Gotta keep sipping and moving. Warm liquids seem to feel better on my tummy.

      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.
