Home now Gas hurts. Otherwise feel pretty good. Put too much shake in my pouch last night - very uncomfy! Lesson learned! Took off this humongous binder thing they had on me that extended from mid-boob to coochie. Seemed a little excessive.

I didn't get a chance to post on here before the surgery, but yaaaaay! XOXOXOXO

I came home about 5:30 PM last night.

I'm not going to lie, my surgery was pretty painful. I woke up to recovery in quite a bit of pain and confusion (pretty normal) and my back was K I L L I N G me because I had been laying on it for about 5 hours at that point. It took them awhile to find a room for me. I had mild gas pains, just enough to be annoying - but as soon I was able to, I was up and walking. My hospital stay was plagued with annoyances. I like to sleep on my stomach, but couldn't. I was hooked up to three different IVs so maneuvering and using the bathroom was difficult.

I've been dealing with a little bit of nausea at this point and it hurts to stand up straight. I couldn't really down the Protein Shake they gave me at the hospital, but I have a lot of options at home. They provided me with chicken broth but I couldn't stand the smell. The only time I "threw up" was when they tried to give me liquid pain medication.

Right now I'm sipping on Water and it's going down well enough.

I did have some instances of, "Why did I do this to myself?" But I've been trying to talk myself down from it.

      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.
