I pray all is better for you now. I had mine on the 20th and was released this morning. I tolerated everything well. Still pretty sore but I know it will get better with time. I know ur just as happy as me that it's finally over..THANK YOU JESUS WE MADE IT!!!! [emoji1490][emoji1490][emoji1490][emoji1490][emoji1488][emoji1488][emoji1488][emoji1488]. Just rest as long as you can tolerate something by mouth, then more than likely you'll be going home tomorrow. Have a goodnight

Hi All

Update- I was able to come home Thursday evening. The surgical team and doctors at the hospital were great. Even day 2 the surgeon came back to check on me and the Pulmonary doctor. I'm not at any point of excitement just praying for complete and speedy healing. The hospital I was at they have prayer 4 times a day and one of the chaplains would come on the speaker and do a prayer which made it more comforting. One of the priest Father Damien stopped by my room and we had a nice visit.

Things I prepped for at home makes me nauseated to think about. On the way home my oldest son went into Walmart to pick up items. I can't do anything chicken ukkk I can do sugar free hot chocolate and popsicles. I was able to get in 4 ozs of chocolate Unjury throughout the day yesterday and last night slowly got in a popsicle which is good because the day before after half I was done.

After surgery I've been having nasal congestion and it's been blood. Not sure if it's from the tubes used during surgery or what the nurse said the dryness of the hospital air. Hopefully it will subside, because it I haven't been able to use my CPAP.

My biggest incision is what hurts the most but I only had to take pain Med once a day.

I'm glad to be home and still in the stage of "I can't believe I finally did it". Focusing on 1. Breathing 2. Sipping 3. Walking. Waiting to try to reintroduce Water. Bringing it back up wasn't fun!

Thank you all for your support and prayers. My prayers are with you all on your journey.

      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.
