I've got a killer headache and since my family is pigging out on thin crust pizza (my fav!) I'm going to go take a bubble bath! Ha!

I am getting nervous. I need to stay off Google...lol

How did you make out Imready2015?

My surgery took a little longer than expected and I lost some blood bc my spline was attached to my stomach and they had to detach it first. A little sore today especially where they removed the drain line near the spline. I'm tolerating Clear liquids really well, gas pain not bad at all. Feeling much better than I expected!!

I am doing ok...I am sore for sure. Bloated from the gas and that was pretty painful. The had to hold off my diet because I had not had my leak test until this morning. Waiting for my tray now :)

How is everyone doing? I slept in the recliner my first night home then tried the bed last night. Came down to t h e recliner about 4am. I have not taken any pain meds yet today cuz I don't want to be sleepy and groggy on Christmas Eve. I'll probably take it before bed tonight. Tolerating liquids just fine. Just can't get that Protein in. I ended up buying New Whey shots that have 42g of protein and i can hold my nose and choke it down. But I will only be able to do that once a day. Otherwise healing well. Took a shower this morning which felt so good!

Feeling very lucky to tolerate liquids just fine. Still a little short of my Protein goal but def getting in all of my liquids! I'm either reclined in the bed or what my husband calls "wandering" around the house. Went for a nice long stroll today with my 2 kiddos! Felt great but once I got home it was like any energy I had was just gone! I rehydrated and needed a nap. No real pain. Just some soreness which gets better by the hour! Still in a bit of shock that it's over with and that I did it! Hope you have a great Christmas...it's a new beginning for sure!

I feel the same way. Tolerating liquids very well. Just sounds like I have aliens living in my belly. Very noisy and kinda comical. Having a real problem with Protein because all of the clear protein is disgusting. Can't wait until I can have Protein Shakes again. 2 more days!

      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.
