Well it's the morning after!

JOB DONE st 8pm UK last night .

I feel good or maybe it's the morphine. I was in ICU for the night but am now sat up drinking Water and having a cheeky laugh with the staff.

So far so good!

Just wondering why you were placed in the ICU? Was there a complication?

We agreed with the surgical team in advance that due to potential sleep apnea I should have close observations. Added benefits of monitoring has contributed to me coming home after just 20hrs!!

So far I have had no issue and been able to keep down milkshake, Water, beef Soup.

I'm bracing myself for a couple of days of pain as the operation takes its toll.

It's done now the only way is down ( in clothes size) feeling really positive about the future. Building my NSV list.

Xx

      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.
