I came home yesterday. Not in a lot of pain, feeling pretty good. Just sip sippin trying to get that Water in. How are you feeling. I had 2 doses of pain meds at the hospital, then took some for the long ride home but was probably not needed.

I've been doing great recovery wise. Was supposed to start stage 3 today started yesterday. Anything I try is easy but don't think I eat as much as I should maybe why. A happy happy note yesterday the boyfriend became the fiancé. One issue left side abdomen pain. My pain has been great no meds really needed but 3 times since I had surgery a week ago, I've either turned over or trying to sit from laying position, left side a little below the waist line burns like fire. Only in the moment I move, a little tender after but felt literally like something tore. Anyone else?

Man oh man I forgot how hard it is to drink Water every 30 mins! It's always been an issue getting enough water in, but I forgot how little you are allowed to drink and how much you need! I need to get a timer... I'm already so over the 4 items I'm consuming..I shouldn't complain but hey, it's a forum so...there you go.

Hope all is well with y'all!

Still don't think I drink enough. Don't feel dehydrated at all but still. I get hungry like every 3 hours. I never really was hungry before surgery just ate a lot and loved lots of food. Great part now is 3 or 4 bites I'm good. We had a church dinner yesterday and thought that would be hard but got a bit of chicken to try and a few pintos. Really surprised

Surprised at the chicken going down, was my biggest fear, because so many people have troubles and its my favorite thing. Second surprise dinner wasn't like I dreaded. I fellowshipped more because I could use my mouth to talk and not stuff it. Surprised at people filling those plates didn't bother me. They gave me a big plate I exchanged for a dessert saucer, put my little dabs on it and was good to go. A sweet lady brought sf pudding as a dessert just for me and well anyone else too, mainly so I'd have something and the Pastor's wife had sf Popsicles too. I took a bit of pudding with me for last night. So it went great.

A timer sounds like a great idea! I use the one on my phone all the time. Thanks!

      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.
