Thanks, I guess I'm ready. The nervous feeling seems to ramp up the closer I get to the 17th. It will be nice once I'm post-op

How you doing

Wow they told me my liver didn’t shrink either. They didn’t mention a special device but I’m in a ton of pain. Luckily I haven’t had a issue with keeping stuff down but every time I drink Water my stomach cramps up really bad. I am shocked my liver didn’t shrink because I was so strict with my pre op diet.

Yea they use a special device to lift it. I can stand up straight. It hurts to walk amd sleeping is hard. Im so tired of it. Im on gabapentin and a oxycodein Syrup. Which help a little. But i cant do broth or popsicles or Jello it all taste very weird to me. I can only do Water & crystal light

Yeah I’ve been noticing Water taste strange now. They sent me home with OxyContin tablets. I wish it was liquid. Oh yeah and sleeping is so hard! My dad has had this procedure and he keeps reassuring me after the first week it gets way easier. Oh and I will definitely try drinking while standing.

Crush up the Oxy and put it in some yogurt or applesauce. They gave me a gigantic horsepill of Potassium post-op and said I had to either break it into fourths to take it or crush it and put it in applesauce. They gave me Percs and I only took like 2 or 3 of them. Just had muscle pains and I found pain meds don't help with that.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try the applesauce trick, it hurts to take the pills. I’m glad I’m not the only one having a lot of pain. It seems like some people recover really fast

I'm doing better as the days progress. I keep forgetting to sip then get the chest pain. I'm selling a simi truck at work and I've been doing some running around getting it prepared but don't feel like I'm overdoing it. How are you doing?

I can get around without much problem. I think it's because they didn't have to do the hiatal hernia repair. That causes the tight feeling when getting up. Did you have that?

      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.
