If I wasn't walking I was sleeping. I was falling asleep sitting up. Well I thought I was superwoman and because I felt good, I didn't ask for more pain meds. Not a good idea. Now I'm so sore and it feels like the pain medicine they gave me just didn't cut it.

I'm up and walking a lot also. Very little pain. I have queball that has a catheter into my upper abdomen. Tylenol an toradol by IV, it's doing its job very well. I'm going home Tuesday after noon. I feel pretty good!

What pain med did you guys get? They just switched me to an ultra concentrated Oxycodone and it's absolutely disgusting!

I was given the same but haven't taken any yet. I will have the qball on Thursday. Also suggested Tylenol.

How is everyone doing? On my way home from the hospital and opting to not fill my pain med. It made me extremely nauseous this morning. Now we're going to relax all adenoma and watch ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas. :)

I filled both prescriptions, pain and nausea, but haven't used either one. Took Tylenol this morning and otherwise feeling great. I've not been nauseous or in much pain. Counting myself very lucky!

      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.
