I was finally able to sleep last night! I couldn't sleep since Sunday, the night before my surgery because of nerves and all sleep since then has been in short shifts bc of pain/discomfort but last night my surgeon injected a local anesthetic into the main incision site that was bothering me and I slept like a baby. it feels great to actually be rested.

Yayyyy on the sleep and a successful surgery. I am having a hard time sleeping tonight. I'm extremely sleepy but because I am super nervous my brain won't allow me to sleep [emoji31]. I'm just laying here watching golden girls and holding my son as he sleeps in my arms[emoji170].... Have you been getting your walks and sips in?

Omg me toooooo, lol. I'm legit trying to but my mind is not letting that happen for me tonight. I'm waking up at 6:30 because my surgery @8 and these nerves are getting the best of me right now. On top of having to go to the bathroom every 5 mins from drinking that magnesium citrate to clean my body out, lol.

I haven't had any trouble sipping at all and I'm now allowed to have up to 3 sips of Water or apple juice every 15 mins which is a big relief and helping me feel more like a human again lol. Walking itself feels good but the transitions getting out of bed or going back down are really tough and I still need some assistance most times. I'm 48 hours out of surgery at this point.

      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.
