Thank you. The pain is getting a little bearable. Is your left bottom incision the one that hurts the Most.?

Yep that's the one! Today's been better. No pain meds yet. Trying to grin and bear it. It's also the first day I've been able to get all my fluids and Protein in. :) still sore but bearable.

I know I'm late on thgis discussion but I'm only posting in regard to the previosu post by @@treblecutie23

I was told, for the duration of my hospital stay as well as my home based recovery, "Don't be a hero when it comes to pain relief!"

So, assuming that the situation is similar, don't "grin and bear it"...

Get some relief...

That's what pain meds are for!!

Good job on the Fluid and Protein tho...

      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.
