so here it is, 4 days post op and i feel pretty good. i am a little more sore then i thought i would be. i have four incisions, and only one, the big one, where the port is, is sore. each day gets better. i was sure to get up and walk for fear of the damn gas moving into my shoulder (i have had previous surgeries), and i walked and walked and still there is sits. so i have been moving my arms and shoulders tons, prolly look like a 'tard, but it helps.

i am drinkin lots---have a 2 week liquid diet and then onto mushies. so far its not bad at all...i am more worried i am not gettin enough in, especially the Protein. i am going to order the flavorless kind today, to add to yogurt and Soup and whatever. when i was in Mexico, the doctor had this Protein soy juice..omg, it was so good, but i was told you cant find it in the states...i am gonna look into ordering it online. it was so good, much easier to get in protein that way i think!

just wanted to say to everyone and touch base. i will post more later...i am a bit behind here at work after missing those 2 days last week!

      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.
