Hey guys. Things went well in surgery.. I'm back in the room trying to sip. Man that's hard. My stomach hurts but pain meds are helpful. I had a good bit of nausea this morning but I think it's gone for the most part. Couldn't do green Jello at all!!! Thanks for your support!

Hang in there-it just keeps getting better and better. Small victories are great-I found some new jeans in my wardrobe this morning that I bought ages ago but they were too small. I was too bone idle to take them back to the shop so they have gathered dust on a hanger for heaven knows how long. Thought I'd give them a try this morning and YES!!!!! They fitted!!! I was sooooo pleased. I've been wandering around with a stupid grin on my face all day. Love it!

I'm so sorry! Yes, they gave me liquid hydrocodone and phenergan tablets that knocked out the nausea.

      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.
