I drove my daughter to school today, then I headed to Walmart for extra strength liquid tylenol. I wound up talking to people there for about 1/2 hour. It was my 1st "field trip". I feel pretty good. Didnt take a perc this am. Just tylenol. It does get better every day!!!

Patty...I haven't driven yet, but I have been getting out everyday. Yesterday hubby and I went to the store to buy some PRUNE juice. I bet you can guess why. And, of course, it works.

My doc gave me liquid Lortab. I haven't been in much pain so I just take a dose at night and I sleep REALLLLLLY well. My husband got up early and left for work this morning. So I got my stepdaughter ready for school, made her Breakfast and packed her lunch and then walked her to the bus stop. I feel really good and actually have to stop myself from doing too much.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing great too!

We are on our way!

I drove the morning after my surgery. I wasn't taking any pain meds though I was indeed sore. But the idea of my daughters NOT going to daycare that day was way worse than the pain, so I bit the bullet. :rolleyes

      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.
