Hey y'all. I'm home and doing okay. Sore and gassy, but alive and well. I'm happy.

I'm off my diabetic meds and my blood pressure meds. If everything stays as it is now, I'll stay off of them. Going back for my follow up on Nov. 9th.

yes

I got morphine button in hospital and liquid Vicodin for home. Yell and scream until you get that too. It's standard of care.

Yep. It's hard to take. Plus my liquid Vicodin tastes like cough Syrup. I wonder if they prepare it like that so that we don't overuse it...????

I see so many of you got pain meds ???? that was not an option for me other than Tylenol. I finally begged for one dose but then I noticed it didn't work for me ... Oh well lol I'm

Home and feel great other than a twinge here & there.

I'm more concerned I don't feel that 'fullness' after drinking & eating. Started mushy foods last night and I don't feel any different after eating that before. That scares the crap out of me!!!

@@dancingqueene hi...I had my rny on the 19th and experienced the same thing for a little over a week. Thursday morning all of a sudden I could only eat about 2 ounces at a meal and has been that way since. It probably has something to do with the healing process. Not sure when your procedure was done, but I was actually wondering if they had actually done anything there for awhile. I'm sure it will kick in for you soon.

I feel disgustingly tight after more than two sips. I'm starting to hate it. True aversion therapy. Wish I didn't have to get liquids or Protein at all.

      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.
