VSGnewguy we had surgery the same day. I am wondering if you were released today as well? And also if you have gas pain? How much Water were you able to drink today?

Yes, was released this afternoon. Good pain meds have definitely worn off. Lol.
Have been sipping all day but didn't track. I will start tracking tomorrow. I can say that getting in the fluids is tougher than I expected. How about you?

Yes, getting in the Fluid is very difficult, this morning still causing waves of slight nausea each sip. I am right now just trying to get in the meds that I need, blood thinner and Miralax both dissolved in Water, then need to take Pepcid and will have to wash it down because that flavor is nasty in the chewable. Seems so silly to struggle over a glass of Water when during prep-op I was chugging up to 100oz a day. Last night pain was manageable, I took the provided pain meds, liquid acetaminophen, but it gave me nightmares I could not escape from so I do not want to take it again.

The prescribed meds gave me nightmares also...

No nightmares but the pain meds aren't doing that much for me so I'm trying to get off of them.

      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.
