I was able to go home from DS surgery on 3/24. I feel pretty good. I get tired kinda quickly, though. I'm starting the full liquid diet today & I still get a lil pain behind my chestbone when I drink. I guess I'm either drinking too much or too fast. Yet I'm still not able to get the liquid amount, though.

I had my revision on Monday. I came home late Wednesday night. I am hungry. I have been straining the creamed Soups and every time I eat them I have diarrhea. My incisions still hurt, I'm just blah.

Went to church today, Happy Easter everyone. Sorry to hear everyone is so tired, but pain meds can make you really tired and sleepy. Also because of liquid diet calories are really low! I go back to work tomorrow so I think it will be a long day for me.

      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.
