Thank you to everyone for your best wishes - 36 hours later and I’m feeling a lot better. First 12 hours were pretty bad and was in quite a lot of pain - it’s definitely subsiding hour by hour and I’m hoping that I’ll be back at home within 24 hours x happy to answer any questions and I promise I’ll be 💯 honest x

That walking really helps and is for your safety to prevent blood clots. Make it a top priority! [emoji106]

Not too bad - still hurting and feel hugely swollen. Stomach bruising really bad - its basically a big purple mess.

food wise - not hungry at all and taking maybe 3-4 teaspoons 3 times a day.

A little stressed with the fragmin injections - but managing pretty well so far - 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.
