hey all!1

Thanks again for all of the msgs! Im on teh road to recovery...i was even able to sleep on my side yesterday. The port only hurts when i try to bend or move, but other than that its ok. Im just taking parcetamol...but other than that im feeling good! Im able to drink alot more today...and trying to keep up with the fluids. Im not hungry at all.

lilysmommy: as soon as i woke up from the anesthetic i was sick (think my body is just sensitive) ...but after that i felt fine. As soon as i got back to the room i was up and walking about after 1 hr. xx

gg,

Glad you're doing well. I had my surgery yesterday and other than the sore incisions, I feel rather great. I had the nausea too after surgery. As soon as I got into the car to go the hotel, I thought I would throw up. Got to the hotel and started dry heaving. I just knew I would throw up, but thank God I didn't. How are you feeling today? Let's get this weight loss party on and poppin. :party:

      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.
